1. The disposition and surface relations of the alimentary tract of the foal have been studied radiographically. 2. The rate of progress of a barium meal through the digestive tract was determined. The barium traversed the stomach and ileum of the weaned foal faster than that of the suckling foal, but was longer retained in the cæcum and ventral colon of the weaned foal.
