Abstract
Observations on morbid changes in the wall of the aortic arch are reported and their nature discussed. Variations in the site of calcium plaques are described. The similarity in the location of these calcifications and the sites of coarctatlon indicates a common denominator in their pathogenesis the remnants of the aortic connections of the fifth and sixth embryonic arches.
