E. Subcutaneous fat of surface, E. R., C. L. ] No other vessels were met with in the band excepting a few insignificant branches of the hepatic artery, and the terminal twigs of the right internal mammary of Eng. The former vessels are marked D, D, Fig. 11. The latter vessel terminated by piercing the diaphragm, and giving ultimate filaments to the integument of the “front” of the band as shown in Fig. 12. [Illustration Figure 12: Fig. 12. The surface, C. R., E. L., with pouches, hepatic tract, and peritoneal attachments removed to display the diaphragms. A. Subcutaneous fat of surface, E. R., C. L.

The point (A), marked by the terminal twigs of the right internal mammary of Eng, indicated the “anterior” of the band. A broad slip of fibres of Chang (B) was seen to pass across the median line, and to be inserted into the left border of the ensiform cartilage of Eng (Fig. 17). This arrangement would appear to correspond to the smaller collection of fibres (C) belonging entirely to Eng. A second arrangement of fibres was seen above those just indicated, immediately under the cartilages (D). This appeared to arise from the border of the cordiform tendon of Eng by two distinct narrow slips, which crossed the median line to be inserted dispersedly on the diaphragm of Chang.

They may be described as follows:— Chang.—The cartilage measured 2-1/2 in. wide, and 8 in. in length along its axis. The right border was very prominent, and projected 1/2 in. beyond the limit of the corresponding border in Eng. It was almost in close contact with the cartilage of the eighth rib; it was very robust, with upper surface convex, under surface nearly plane. The left lateral border was 2-1/2 in. in length, right lateral border 11 lines in length. The former was marked by three tubercles of about equal size. One situated about 1 in. from the sternal origin; the other about 2 in. from the same point; the third at its extreme anterior border. None of these were robust, or presented any of the thickening noticed on the right side. The middle of these tubercles was on a line with that of the posterior tubercle. The junction of the ensiform process with the sternum was not marked by the eminence characterizing the similar point in Eng.
