Conclusion I cannot claim to be familiar with the literature of partial hepatectomy, nor have I consulted more than the standard textbooks of operative surgery. It would, in any case, be out of place to burden a clinical report of a single case with references to the experience of others. The surgeon to-day is confrontedwith the almost impossible task of keeping in touch with a literature that increases in volume every year. He can read most of that which concerns the small branch in which he is particularly interested. For the rest he must be content to let others do the hard work at the coalface, and get the knowledge from them, picked, assorted, graded, and delivered in clean sacks. Theknowledge thus acquired gains in perspective from being unclogged by excessive detail, and it is laid down in the association centres of a mind clarified by idleness. What I have learned of surgery since taking my Fellowship has been gleaned from registrars, house-surgeons, dressers, and sisters; from meetings of the Association of Surgeons. the Royal Society of Medicine, and the Medical Society of London; from journeyings round Europe with the Surgical Travellers; and from the Colchester Surgical Group and those whovisit them. At a recent Colchester meeting we were discussing the surgery of the liver, and I learned for the first time that the method that proved so useful to me in this case was not known to the majority. For that reason. because the information may prove useful to others faced with a similar predicament, I venture to put out this unscientific communication.The use of radioactive phosphorus to study the move-ments ofwild rodents over a long period has had promis-ing results. Workers at the University of Wisconsin have found it possible, with the help of a Geiger counter, to trace the movements of a field-mouse, which had previously been injected with a harmless amount of radioactive phosphorus, by its radioactive excretions. These tests have shown that a field-mouse travelled at least 700 feet in a period of eight days, and ranged over an area of 120 feet long and 100 feet across. The method has also been used in tracing the movement of insects and birds.
