. J\ Fig. 211.—Lymphatic glands of the hind quarter. GG, Precrural lymphatic gland; GF, lumbar lymphatic ; GP, popliteal lymphatic (deep-seated) ; GI, ischiatic lymphatic (deep-seated); GA, anal lymphatic (deep-seated). upper extremity of the neck disappears, together with the depression known as the jugular furrow. Such deformities may be either per- fectly symmetrical, as in lymphadenia, or (as is more commonly the case) asymmetrical, as in tuberculosis; and if inspection leaves any doubt, the glands may be further examined by palpation. To obtain the fullest information both hands should be used, one arm being passed over the neck and the fingers engaged behind the trachea. The operator may also stand in front of the animal, whose head should be lifted so that the points of the fingers can be thrust deeply inwards on either side of the trachea in the direction of the vertebral column.
