    2. Gastro-Duodenal, between the stomach and duodenum, as in: Two cases by Cruveilhier, Traite cTAnai. Path., ii., 540, and Livr. xxvii., pi. 1, fig, 2. Dittrich, Prag. Vierteljahrschrift, xiii., p. 125. Barlow's Man. of Pract. Med., p. 422. Barclay, Med. Times and Gaz., 1850, i., 439. There are only five cases which I have found in the same search, which has yielded thirty-three cases of gastro-colic fistute. Hence, I cannot subscribe to the statement of a recent writer, M. Houel,^ that tlie former are more common than the latter. Two of these cases resulted from cancer, and three from simple ulceration of the stomacli. In the last case, the opening was into the upper portion of the duodenum, although Cruveilhier and Houel maintain that it is always in the third part. 3. Betioeen Stomach and Jejunum or Ileum. Dr Brinton, Brit, and For. Med. Chir. Review, xix., 479. 4. Betioeen the Stomach and Pleural Cavities or Lungs.—Two cases have been recorded of cancer of the stomach, in which an opening into the left pleural cavity resulted. Case of Heyfelder's, quoted by Diruf, in Zeitschrift fur die Ge- sammt. Med., vol. xlii., p. 474; and Dr Hensley, in Lancet, 1847, i., 674. There are also two cases in which the stomach communicated with an abscess in the left lung. Dr Hughes, Tr. Path. Soc. Lond., ii., 251. Dr Habershon, Gurfs Hosp. Rep., 3d Ser., i.. 111. 5. Between the Stomach and Pericardium.—A case of simple ulcer of the stomach opening into the pericardium, is preserved in the Museum of King's College, London. (Digestive Syst., No. 37.) For another case of communication between the stomach and pericardium, see Graves's Clin. Lee, ii., 237. 6.
