It then forms an acute angle, medially and forward along the small colon to the dorsal part of the hilus of the spleen, where it blends with the suspensory ligament of the latter, and forms a recess (Recessus lienalis) behind the saccus caecus of the stomach. It now passes along the hilus of the spleen, and is continued to the greater curvature of the stomach by the gastro-splenic omentum. It is convenient to regard the spleen as being interca- lated in the left part of the greater omentum; on this basis the gastro-splenic omentum would be that part of the greater omentum which connects the hilus of the spleen with the greater cur\-ature of the stomach. The greater omentum is relatively small in the horse, and is usually not \-isible when the abdo- men is opened. It is generally folded up in the space between the \nsceral surface of the stomach and the in- testine.^ The lesser sac furnishes the perito- neal covering for: (1) the Wsceral surface of the stomach and a small area of the first cur\-e of the duodenum; (2) a large part of the dorsal surface of the pancreas and por- tal vein; (3) a small part of the visceral sur- face of the Uver above the attachment of the lesser omentum and the portal fissure; (4) the posterior vena cava, from the le\'el of the epiploic foramen to its passage through the diaphragm lin so far as it is not embeddcfl); (.5) the part of the parie- tal surface of the Uver between the right and micklle dixisions of the coronarj- hga- ment; i6) the corresponding part of the diaphragm, and the right part of the right cms of the same; (7) part of the anterior surface of the terminal part of the great colon, and the origin of the small colon; (8) the left extremity of the pancreas (in- constant); (,9j the spleen. We may now trace the perito- neum in a longitudinal direction, be- ginning in front. It is reflected from the ve
