The transverse portion lay wholly in the pelvis over the first 

 part of the sacrum. The ascending portion crossed the left iliac 

 vessels, passing upwards to terminate at the duodeno-jejunal flexure 

 at the lower border of the fourth lumbar vertebra. 



The transverse meso-colon commenced in the right inguinal region, 

 and in reaching to the left inguinal region described a curve with its 

 convexity forwards, the curve being on a level with the symphysis 

 pubis in the middle line. The ascending and the descending portions 

 of the colon were virtually absent.

Accessory 'muscle of the pharynx. 



In the dissection of the pharynx two accessory muscles were 

 found one on each side and exactly similar in all respects. Each 

 arose by a narrow tendinous slip from the under surface of the apex 

 of the petrous portion of the temporal bone, just external to, and 

 in close contact with, the origin of the levator palati. Each was 

 about 3 inches in length and descended almost perpendicularly 

 behind the stylo-pharyngeus, gradually increasing in thickness, to 

 be inserted by a long narrow muscular band into the side of the 

 pharynx, from about half an inch above the highest point of the 

 insertion of the stylo-pharyngeus down to the level of the middle 

 of the thyro-hyoid space. The upper fibres decussated with those 

 of the superior and the middle constrictors, while the lower fibres 

 passed under the inferior constrictor.
