The right one is attached to the right of the fossa vena cavse; the left one begins to the left of the vena cava and passes dorsally and laterally, becoming continuous with the left lateral ligament at the left margin of the oesophageal notch; it detaches a middle fold which extends to the oesophageal notch and is continuous with the lesser omentum. The two laminae unite below the vena cava to form

The falciform ligament (Lig. falciforme hepatis) is a crescentic fold which attaches the middle lobe to the sternal part of the diaphragm and to the abdominal floor for a variable distance. 3.

The right lateral ligament (Lig. triangulare dextrum) attaches the dorsal border of the right lobe closely to the costal part of the diaphragm. 5. The left lateral ligament (Lig. triangulare sinistrum) is a triangular fold which attaches the dorsal edge of the left lobe to the tendinous center of the dia- phragm. 6. The hepato-renal or caudate ligament (Lig. hepatorenale) attaches the caudate process to the right kidney and the base of the caecum. The lesser omentum and the first part of the mesoduodenmn are formed by the ' It is to be noted that a remnant of the lumen of the vein is usually present, but has no end
