right knee, 



medial siu'face. 



Bursa trochauterica m. glutaei niaximi (>ee Fig. 385 387), e(mstant, very large, 

 upon the posterior and lateral surface of the trochanter major as well as upon the origin of 

 the m. vastus lateralis, between these and the upper portion of the m. glutaeus raaximus. 



Bursae ghitaeofemorales (see Pigs. 38() and 387), constant, two or three small bursae 

 below the preceding; partly lateral, partly medial frum the attachment of the m. glutaeus 

 maximus to the femur. 



Bursa trochanterica m. glutaei medii anterior (see Fig. 386), constant, sometimes 

 double; between the tendon of the m. glutaeus medius and the apex of the trochanter major. 



Bursa trochauterica ni. g^lutaei medii posterior (see Fig. 386), very frequently 

 present, between the ti-udon of the m. glutaeus medius and the tendon of the m. piriformis. 



Bursa ni. pirif(h'mis (see Fig. 386), frequently present, in front of and below the 

 tendon of the m. pirifirniis, between it. the bone and the m. gemellus superior. 



Bursa m. obturatoris iuterni (see Fig. 386), constant, between the incisura ischiadica 

 minor and the m. obturator internus; it is very often continued into the gi-oove formed by 

 the mm. gemelli. for which it forms a lining; the latter part is very rarely independent. 



Bursa m. bicipitis femoris superior (see Fig. 386), inconstant, between the tendons 

 of the mm. biceps and semitendinosus on the one hand and the tendon of the m. semimem- 

 branosus on the other.
