m section. 



The knee-joint was sawed through, after injection of a hardening 

 mass through an aperture made in the patella ; after the sawing the 

 mass used for injection was removed. In this way the sac-like diverticula 

 of the synovial capsule become visible, and it can be seen how high 

 up the insertion of the synovial capsule on the anterior and posterior 

 side of the knee-joint reaches.
