Lymphoglandulae aortas abdominalis (fig. 16) There are a large number of glands around the abdominal aorta and the inferior vena cava. These glands are di\'ided into three groups: the inferior, middle and the superior. But it must be remarked that these divisions are absolutely artificial, for the nodes form a continuous chain without any distinct separation. Hence it is difficult to group separately. Some lymphatic vessels go to certain of these nodes but the territory drained is not distinct. Ga//BlaJJ^ / .

The lymphoglandulae aortae abdominalis inferiores are composed (tf three to six glands about the size of a pin's head which are grouped around the lower half of the great abdominal vessels, in meshes of the Ij^mphatic plexus. These nodes are nothing more than 'Schaltdriisen' interrupting the lymph from the hypogastric and the common iliac nodes and from the descending colon on its way to the cisterna chyli. 2. Lymphoglandulae aortae, abdominalis mediales. This gi-oup of nodes is found around the abdominal aorta, the renal vessels and the superior mesenteric and spermatic arteries. The glands of this group are much larger than those of the inferior mesenteric arteries. They are usually ovoid in shape and the largest one may be as l)ig as 5 mm. but very many small nodes may be found among them. Since these glands lie in a plexus of lymphatic vessels, some of them are only interrupting nodes while others receive
