With the view of reaching the individual experience 
and opinions of Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons on debatable 
points in Surgical Pathology, based upon their observations in 
this war, an “Association op Army and Navy Surgeons” 
has been organized, and your co-operation in carrying out the 
successful fulfilment of its purpose is solicited. 
Questions proposed by the President will be forwarded, and 
as early a reply as practicable will be necessary in order that a 
majority vote may be taken in the decision. 
The following are the questions : 
I. In Gun-shot Wounds do such differences exist between 
the orifices of entrance and exit as to indicate them with 
certainty ? 
11. Have Gun-shot Wounds, in your experience, ever assumed 
the appearance of Incised Wounds, and healed by first 
intention ? 
HI. When suppurating, which orifice seems to heal first?
