AUSTRALIAN CAT. 



On Visceral Surface there was a division of the cystic 

 lobe into two practically equal lobes, viz., right and left 

 cystic, or mesial, by the gall bladder cleft, and a well 

 defined fissure for the cystic duct. The Left (lateral ) 

 lobe is concave for the reception of the stomach, and on 

 this aspect of the right (lat.) lobe, the mobile caudate 

 lobe- — usually fissured above — is noted. It forms below, 

 with the right lobe, part of the concavity for the upper 

 pole of the kidney. At its dorso-inn'er part the entrance 

 of the inf. v. cava is noted, and the vein is hidden in its 

 hepatic relationship. There is a small lobus spigelii, and 

 between the two pass in a groove the portal vein, artery, 

 and bile duct. 



In a specimen (see diagram) in the Hunterian 

 Museum, London, that had been in spirit for many years, 

 the primitive type of the lobulation was very marked, 

 and the separation of the liver into right and left portions 

 by the gall bladder and cystic and hepatic ducts was 

 evident macroscopically. The hepatic ducts were right 

 or left. Thus the left liver includes left mesial, left inter- 

 mediate, and left lateral lobes, and the right liver includes 

 right mesial, right lateral, and caudate and spigelian 

 lobes.
