invariably found in the right lobe. I have observed 

 but three cases in which the findings at autopsy proved 

 that abscess formation was confined to the left lobe. 

 My experience in this respect has been borne out by 

 others, especially by Rouis, who collected 639 cases 

 of abscess of the liver in which the location of the 

 abscesses was as follows: 435 or 17.8 per cent, were 

 situated in the right lobe; 85 or 13.3 per cent, were 

 situated in the left lobe, and 2 or 0.3 per cent, in the 

 lobus Spigelii. 



The following table illustrates the location of the 

 abscesses in 24 cases which I have observed at autopsy:
