and then upward in the longitudinal ligament, and, as a single trunk, through 

 the Diaphragm to the anterior mediastinal glands and thence to the right lym- 

 phatic duct: (2) branches which run forward and around the anterior margin to 

 the under surface, and thence in the longitudinal fissure to glands in the lesser 

 omentum; (3) branches which pass outward to the right lateral ligament and 

 thence, coalescing, either through the Diaphragm to the anterior mediastinal 

 glands, or inward, across the crus. to the thoracic duct: and (4) branches which

run outward from the left lobe to the left lateral ligament, and thence through 

 the Diaphragm to the anterior mediastinal glands. 



Those on the under surface form three groups, viz., (1) branches arising 

 to the right of the gall-bladder and passing to the lumbar glands; (2) branches 

 Burroduning the gall-bladder in a plexus and passing, with the hepatic Vessels 

 to glands in the lesser omentum : and (3) branches arising to the left of the gall- 

 bladder and passing to the oesophageal glands or glands along the lesser curva- 

 ture of the stomach. 



The deep vessels of the liver accompany the branches of the portal vein 

 and hepatic duct and artery: they escape a1 the transverse fissure and either 

 enter glands placed along the lesser curvature or the stomach and behind the 

 pancreas, or join a lacteal before it enters the thoracic duct.
