The superficial lymphatics of the penis occupy the sides and dorsum of the 

 organ, the latter receiving the lymphatics from the skin covering the glans

In the female, the lymphatic vessels of the mucous membrane of tne labia,

The Deep Lymphatics of the Pelvis and Abdomen take the course of the 

 principal bloodvessels. Those of the parietes of the pelvis, which accompany 

 the gluteal, ischiatic, and obturator vessels, follow the course of the internal 

 iliac artery, and ultimately join the lumbar lymphatics. 



The efferent vessels from the inguinal glands enter the pelvis beneath Pou- 

 part's ligament, where they lie in close relation with the femoral vein ; they
