between its muscular wall and its external fibrous coat. Their afferents are 

 derived from the muscular and mucous coats of the rectum and from the upper 

 part of the anal canal, and their efferents pass to the superior hsernorrhoidal glands. 



Lymphoglandulse Parauterinae. The para-uterine lymph glands (1-6), lie at 

 the sides of the neck of the uterus in the bases of the broad ligaments. They 

 receive afferents from the neck of the uterus and the efferents pass to the hypo- 

 gastric glands. 



Lymphoglandulse Haemorrhoidales Superiores. The superior haemorrhoidal 

 lymph glands lie along the course of the superior hsemorrhoidal artery in the 

 pelvic meso-colon. They receive afferents from the walls of the rectum, and from 

 the ano-rectal glands. Their efferents go to the inferior mesenteric glands. 



The Parietal Lymph Glands of the Pelvis. 



Lymphoglandulae Sacrales. The sacral lymph glands, variable in number, 

 lie along the anterior aspect of the sacrum, between the anterior sacral foramina.

Their afferents are from the rectum, the prostate, and the adjacent parts of the 

 wall of the pelvis. Their efferents end in the sub-aortic, the aortic, and the hypo- 

 gastric glands.
