A series of laboratory experiments is described, in the course of which central liver injuries were produced by the use of a sharp instrument introduced through a laparotomy incision. After this, appropriate blood chemistry investigations were carried out, and the fæces were examined for occult blood. The significance and implications of the findings of hæmobilia in the human subject are discussed.
