    Internally, the outer margin of the rectus abdominis muscle; Below, Poupart's ligament, forming its base. The struc- tures forming the abdominal wall at this cavity are, from with- out inward:— 1. Skin; 2. Superficial fascia; 3. Intercolumnar fascia; 4. Conjoined tendon of the transversalis and internal ob- lique ; 5. Fascia transversalis; 6. Subserous tissue; 7. Peritoneum. The anatomical parts concerned in direct inguinal hernia are the same as those in the indirect, already given. The cover- ings of direct inguinal hernia are those just given. 3. FEMORAL HERNIA escapes through the femoral ring, carrying before it a pouch of peritoneum, descends through the femoral canal and emerges through the saphenous opening in the fascia lata. The anatomical parts concerned in this hernia are:— The femoral ring, the femoral or crural canal, the septum crurale, crural sheath and deep crural arch, and the saphenous opening. The femoral or crural ring is an oval opening, about an inch and a half in diameter, larger in the female and situated below Poupart's ligament, between the inner side of the femoral vein and the margin of Gimbernat's ligament. It is the abdom- inal opening of the femoral canal and it is closed in the recent state by the septum crurale and a small lymphatic gland. It is bounded— In front, by the deep femoral arch and Poupart's ligament; Behind, by the pubes, covered by the pubic portion of the fascia lata and the pectineus muscle; Externally, by the femoral vein, from which it is separated by a fibrous septum; Internally, by the deep femoral arch, Gimbernat's ligament, the transversalis fascia, and the conjoined tendon. The femoral canal is a space from a quarter to half an inch in length, extending from Gimbernat's ligament to the upper margin of the saphenous opening. Bounded above by the femoral ring and below by the saphenous opening. It is the innermost compartment of the femoral sheath. Anterior wall—transversalis fascia, covered by the falciform process of the fascia lata;
