Foramina, lietween the great sacro-sciatic ligament and the hip-bone is alarge space subdivided by tlie small sacro-sciatic ligament. The part which liesabove this ligament is named the tjreat sacro-scialic foramen. It transmits the. 180 THE ARTICULATIONS OF THE PELVIS. piriformis muscle, the gluteal, sciatic, and pudic vessels and nerves, and the nervesto the obturator internus and quadi-atns femoris muscles. The part between tliegreater and lesser sacro-sciatic ligaments, much smaller and bounded in front bythe smooth surface between the spine and tuberosity of the ischium, is the smallsacro-sciatic foramen, through which pass the obturator iuternus muscle, the pudicvessels and nerve, and the nerve to the obturator internus. The PUBIC ARTICULATION, or symj)Jiysis pubis, is the connection of the pubicbones in front, and is effected by an interpubic disc and ligaments. The interjmUcdisc consists of a layer of cartilage on each side, closely adherent to the bony sur-faces, and an intermediate stratum of fibrous tissue and fibro-cartilage. The inter-mediate layer is thicker in front than behind, and generally contains a fissuretowards the upper and back part, which sometimes extends th
