The plica semilunaris and plica triangularis represent the reflexion ofmucous membrane at the edge of the diverticulum, and, owing to the lattersdirection forwards and upwards, the sharp edge is only found on the upperand anterior aspect of the outlet. This is well marked in the tiger andleopard. Some types of human tonsils can be explained by a preponderance ofone or other fct-tal masses. Other forms are due to lymphoid proliferationon the j)lica triangularis or plica semilunaris.
