The horizontal or transverse lines are four in number, and areas follows : (1.) Around the lower part of the neck, sloping down-wards to the upper end of the sternum anteriorh^, and to the lastcervical vertebrae posteriorly; (2.) Around the upper part of thechest in the line of the clavicles; (3.) Around the middle of the Fig. chest bv the lower edge of the third rib, above the line of the malenipple, and touching the inferior border of the scnpuh^ beliind;(4.) Around the lower part of the chest, on a level with the xiphoidcartilage. (See figures as before.) By these lines the lower part of the neck and the chest is divided 542 SPECIAL PATHOLOGY—THORACIC DISEASES. into three liorizontal and eiglit vertical bauds; and by the inter-sections of these lines various compartments or regions may be in-dicated. The most useful arrangement of the compartments and nomen-clature of the regions is as follows: Anterior, lateral, and posterior regions being recognized, the interiorare named the supra-clavicular, clavicular, infra-clavicular, mammar>/,infra-mammary, supra-sternal, superior sternal, and inferior sternal. The lateral regions are,—the axillari/ and the infra-axillary. The posterior regions are,—the supra-sjnnous region ; the infra-spin-ous region (sometimes called the scapular); the inter-scapular;
