1. The first complete septum I saw, I 

















regret I -vras unable to measure, as it was 

















a very fine specimen.

several vessels, and was attached to the 

















external part of the notch ; I also observed a 

















second mucous ligament going from the mar- 

















supium to the snyo\dal hood which is often 

















found on the internal condyle. Though a 

















mere thread, this ligament was of consider- 

















able strength, having a triangular origin and 

















insertion; it measured 1.25 inches in length, 

















and is the second of the kind I have observed 

















in man.

but there was a slip going from the middle
