(Poirier and Charpy.) arteries. They receive a few vessels from the lateral aortic nodes, but their principal afferents are derived from the viscera supplied by the'three arteries with which they are associated. Some of their efl'erents pass to the retroaortic nodes, but the majority unite to form a common trunk, the truncus intestinalis, which enters the receptaculum chyli. The retroaortic nodes are placed below the receptaculum chyli, on the bodies of the third and fourth lumbar vetebrie. They receive lymphatic trunks from the lateral and preaortic nodes, while their efferents terminate in the receptaculum chyli. The Lymphatic Vessels of the Abdomen and Pelvis. The lymphatic vessels of the walls of the abdomen and pelvis may be divided into two sets, superficial and deep. The superficial vessels follow the course of the superficial bloodvessels and converge to the upper group of the superficial inguinal nodes. Those derived from the integument of the front of the abdomen below the umbilicus follow.
