It dips into the pelvis from thebones of the pubes, passes over the bladder, and descends behind; and beingagain carried Dackwards at the entrance of the ureters, in two lunar folds, itrejoins unon the intestinum rectum that part of itself which invests the loins;and in this situation lies before the rectum. The cellular texture, which coversthe peritonaeum on the outside, is continued into sheaths in very many places,of which, one receives the testicle on each side, another the iliac vessels of thepelvis, viz., the obturatoria., those of the penis and bladder, and the aorta, and,ascending to the breast, accompanies the oesophagus and vertebrae: by means ofwhich there is a communication between the whole body and the peritonaeum,well known in dropsical people. It has various prolongations for covering the•viscera.
