There are three principal types of anomalous modesof union of the cystic and hepatic ducts: (1) theparallel type, in which the two ducts do not unite untila point a little above the ampulla; (2) the interiorspiral type, in which the cystic winds around the frontof the hepatic duct and enters the latter on its leftborder; and (3) the posterior spiral type, in whichthe cystic winds around behind the hepatic duct, andenters the latter either on its posterior, left lateral, oreven its anterior surface. *This observation agrees with that of von Haberer andClairmont.
