rebellar, veins coming from the cerebellum ; they 

 into the various sinuses. Vs., Cerebral, veins 

 m the cerebrum. They are cortical and cen- 

 the former are from S to 12 in number on each side

 site the sacroiliac synchondrosis by the 

 confluence of the external and internal iliac 

 veins. They unite opposite the fifth lumbar 

 vertebra to form the inferior vena cava.

 ward of the common femoral; it extends 

 from the lower border of Poupart's liga- 

 ment to the lower border of the sacro- 

 iliac synchondrosis. V., Iliac, Internal, a 

 short trunk extending from the great saoro-
