(Simonds.) greater or convex curvature is turned upwards, and it is attached by means of a fold of peritoneum to the posterior fissure of the liver. This fold of peritoneum is continued on to the lesser curvature of the fourth compartment, and thence to the duodenum. The lesser curvature has a downward direction and it comes into relation with the second stomach. The left extremity is thin and forms the neck which communicates with the reticulum. The right end is continuous with the base of the fourth compartment.
