4. 15. Hip-Joint.— Acetabulum, dissected to show the cotyloid 

 and transverse ligaments. B. C. ii. N. 14. 



4. 16. Hip-Joint. — Dissection of the hip-joint — injected, showing 

 the ligamentum teres and the ligaments on the back and upper 

 parts, the front of the capsule having been removed — in spirit. 



B. C. II. N. 13. 



4. 17. Hip- Joint. — Preparation of the ilium and adjacent part' of 

 the femur. The bones are macerated, and the ligaments dried 

 and painted. 



These ligaments are, particularly, the "ischio-femoral band," 

 described by Dr Struthers (" Edinburgh Medical Journal," 1858), 

 passing spirally at the back from the ischium to the fore-part 

 of the great trochanter, and so placed as to check rotation 

 inwards during flexion. The ligamentum teres, exposed by Dr 

 Struthers' method, is seen not to be tense, and to lie out of its 

 functional groove, in the erect posture. G. C. 3467. 



Presented by Professor Struthers. 



4. 18. Hip-Joint. — Dissection illustrating the structure of tl.ie 

 above. G. C. 3570. 



4. 19. Knee-Joint. — Dissection of an injected preparation, espec- 

 ially illustrating the sub-patellar pad of fat and ligamentum 

 mucosum, as well as the lateral and crucial ligaments from 

 behind. B. C. II. N. 19. 



4. 20. Knee-Joint. — Dissection of a left knee-joint, to show the 

 attachment of the crucial ligaments — in spirit.
