Baker — On the Ligamentum Miicosum.

Class II.— Partial Septa. 





1. Had a falciform edge at femoral attach- 

 ment. 



2. Had a falciform margin looking do-«Tiwards 

 and backwards. 



3. The ligament was inflamed, the subject 

 itself was old, thin, and had nimieroiis bed-sores 

 upon her. Fig. 2. 



4. Had a falciform margin. I had not weights 

 to measiu'e what strain it would bear. 



5. Had a falciform edge, and broke from its 

 femoral attachment, where there was some trace 

 of a vessel. 



6. A rickety subject, in whom the testes had 

 not descended ; the ligament carried many vessels. 

 I observed a fine thread extending from the 

 middle of the ligament to the anterior crucial 

 ligament at its latter extremity ; it expanded into 

 a reddish cone-like thickening ; this thread mea- 

 sured 0'6 inch in length. 



7- The fellow limb of No. 6 had a slight falci- 

 form edge, and broke from the marsupium ; not- 

 withstanding its being a smaller ligament than 

 the preceding, it bore a greater strain, in conse- 

 quence of a large vessel iimning along the 

 posterior margin, which came from the azygos 

 articular artery. 



8. Had a falciform margin, a second slip went 

 from its femoral attachment to the anterior crucial 

 ligament, and a third slip joined the marsupium 

 to the outer reflection of the synovial membrane ; 

 the vessels on its sirrf ace were from the internal 

 and external superior articular ai-teries ; there was 

 a hood on the inner condyle. 



9. Had a falciform femoral attachment ; two 

 threads went from this ligament to the anterior 

 crucial ligament, and a thii-d thread joined the 

 marsupium to the external reflection of the 

 synovial membrane; there was a hood on the 

 inner condyle. Fig. 3.
