A notch in the inferior border of the left atrium has been observed in patients with a persistent left superior vena cava draining via the coronary sinus into the right atrium. It is suggested that the notch is due to the dilated coronary sinus.

* This paper is based on an original observation by Dr.Urquhart though he did not live to see the final form of the publication. His wisdom, knowledge and expertise are greatly missed.

Received for publication May 1, 1979.
