    ABNORMAL QUALITY AND PITCH. USUAL SEAT. In phthisis and pleurisy generally in the upper part of the chest. In pneumonia generally the lower part behind, especially on the right side. In other cases variable. Being identical with the healthy Tracheal Respiration, it may be studied in the supra- sternal region of a sound person. Same as the preceding. A very important sign in the diagnosis of in- cipient phthisis. DISEASES INDICATED. Pneumonia. Phthisis. Pleuritic effusion. Collapse of pulmonary lobules. Pulmonary oedema. Pulmonary apoplexy. Carcinoma. Hydrothorax. Hy dro -perica rdium. Aneurism and other tumors. Same diseases as the preceding, only indicating a lesser amount of solid- ification. In the resolution of acute lobar pneumonia (croupous), all vari- eties of the sound may be heard by daily auscultation, from that which verges on the bronchial in complete solidification, to that which verges on the vesicular, which comes with re- covery.
