The prescapular lymph gland (superficial cervical) is situated at the cephalic 

 border of the supraspinatus muscle a little dorsal to, or above, the point of 

 the shoulder. The gland is covered, in large part, by the muscle omo- 

 transversarius which is here only about one half centimeter in thickness. 

 Its ventral portion is covered by the muscle brachio-cephalicus which is 

 somewhat thicker than the preceding muscle. The lymph gland is large, 

 8.7 cm. by 3.2 cm. by 1.9 cm., and can be readily palpated in the live animal. 

 In addition to this large gland there are often several additional small 

 nodules scattered along the cephalic border of the supraspinatus muscle and 

 covered by the omo-transversarius and the very thin trapezius. The small 

 glands, of a dark red color, vary in number from 5 to 10 and in size from 

 4 mm. up to 1.9 cm. (Average size of the prescapular lymph gland, 7-9 cm. 

 by 1.5-2 cm. by 1-1.5 cm., Batun.) 



The pre crural lymph glands (prefemoral or subiliac), one on either side, are 

 situated on the aponeurosis of the muscle obliquus abdominis extemus in 

 the region of the flank, PI. IX. The gland lies at the cephalic edge of the 

 tensor fasciae latae and from 20 to 30 cm. ventral to the coxal or external 

 angle of the ilium ; or from 15 to 20 cm. dorsal to the free edge or border of 

 the fold of skin at the flank. The gland is covered by the skin and the thin 

 aponeurosis of the muscle cutaneus trunci and can be palpated easily in 

 the healthy cow. The size of the gland varies considerably. In one speci- 

 men it was 7.5 cm. long by 2.5 cm. wide ; in another case it was 10.5 cm. 

 long by 3 cm. wide. (Average size, 6-1 1 cm. by 1^-2^ cm. by i cm., Baiun.) 

 Usually it forms a single structure as shown in PI. IX, Fig. 2, but sometimes 

 there are accessory glands as shown in PI. IX, Fig. i. 



The superficial inguinal lymph glands difTer in their relations in the two 

 sexes. " In the male they are situated in a mass of fatty tissue immediately 

 caudal to the spermatic cord. Superficially, they are covered by the skin 

 and partially by the retractor muscle of the prepuce. More commonly only 

 one gland on either side is present but there may be two or three and in 

 exceptional cases even as many as four glands on a side. Occasionally an 

 unpaired gland is found between the penis and the ventral abdominal wall. 

 The largest of the superficial inguinal lymph glands, in the adult male, are 

 from 3-6 cm. in length and from 2-3 cm. in width." Baum. 



In the female these glands are often termed the supramammary or 

 retromammary lymph glands. Usually there are two of these glands present 

 on either side. Exceptionally a third gland may be present on one side 

 and one gland only on the other. The largest glands are in apposition, or 

 nearly so, medially, and are sometimes united along their medial borders.
