. The anatomy and surgical treatment of hernia. of the external oblique muscles, has some resemblance to the interweavingof the tendinous bands which is observed in the aponeurosis of the diaphragm aroundthe tendinous opening through which the ascending vena cava passes. There can beno doubt that the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, being denser and moreelastic in the lower region of the abdomen than in the upper one, and applied inthe manner of a belt, acquires a still greater degree of density and elasticity in thevicinity of the lower margin of the abdomen and around the inguinal

Indeed, no other intersection oftendinous fibers similar to this, at least so far as regards the number and size of the Plate III.,.
