It might, in fact, be termed the ileo-ccecal omentum. Through the kindness of the late Dr. Littles executor, I amenabled to reproduce his original illustration. (Fig. 7.) The various peritoneal folds about the csecum are somewhatdiagrammatically represented in Fig. 8.

It lies close to the ileo-caecal fossa, being divided from it bythe left side of the meso-caecum and ascending mouth is generally at the junction of the caecum and colon,and it opens out the layers of the meso-caecum or isjaot so frequently met with as the previously mentioned ?so The Sub-ccecal Fossa. pouches.
