The greatly increased surgical activity in tropical countries has revealed certain important variations in the incidence of acute abdominal diseases from those met with in temperal climes. Therefore the author has rewritten the chapter on “Acute Abdomen in the Tropics”. He obtained much of the information for this from the book “Surgery and Clinical Pathology in the Tropics” by Mr. Charles Bowesman, O.B.E. He has also added a short account of Acute Pophyria, as cases of this have increased recently.
