    Inspiration has the same characters as in front. Expira- tion more distinctly tubular and cavernous in supra spinous fossa. The fine rale heard in front is not audible here. Vocal resonance is cavernous in infra-spinous fossa, more markedly so than in front. It becomes bronchophonic in middle third of the scapula, below this it is simply intensified. On forced breathing a medium- sized mucous rale is heard over whole of right back below infra-spinous fossa. Back left side. Dulness absolute in supra-spinous fossa. It is less so in infra-spinous fossa. Below this it is good. Inspiration blowing, but neither tubular nor cavernous, except at one spot near spinal column at middle third of scapuhi, where it has the latter character. Expu-ation almost inaudible in supra-spinous fossa. No rale, even on forced breathing, on this side posteriorly. No pectoriloquy. Vocal resonance is somewhat ex- as^gerated throughout. It has a somewhat hollow sound at spot where expii-ation is cavernous. Heart's apex in normal site. Dulness normal. Action rather irregular. Sounds are heard most clearly at base, but are unattended with murmur. Tongue moist and clean. Appetite pretty good. Throat exceedingly sore. Voice hoarse. Has difficulty in swallow- ing.
