The first intravital examination of bone marrow was made by Wolff1 in 1903. This was performed by trepanation of the diaphyses of the tibias of small animals. Human bone marrow of a living subject was first examined by Ghedini2 in 1908. This method was used by Schilling and a number of other writers, including myself. I found it quite difficult to use this method on many patients for the reason that it entailed a surgical operation, and it was obviously impossible to repeat the puncture more than once or twice on the same patient. The difficulties incident to an operation of this type were removed by Arinkin3 in 1929. He used a large needle and trocar and punctured the body of the sternum under aseptic conditions, using a local anesthetic.
Attention is called to the instrument4 that I have devised and successfully used for this purpose.
