    The superior fasciculi pass obliquely upwards, the inferior downwards, and the middle horizontally. The posterior chondro - sternal ligament is an indistinct band of fibres radiating from the posterior surface of the inner end of the costal cartilage to the back of the sternum. The capsular ligament surrounds the joint, and encloses a synovial membrane. ~~(In the ist there is no synovial mem- brane ; in tne 2nd and 3rd there are 2 \ the Joint being divided by an interarticular ligament passing between end of the rib cartilage and cartilage between ist and 2nd pieces of the sternum in the case of the 2nd costo-sternal joint. The 3rd has two synovial membranes; the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th one each.) A rticulations of the Cartilages of the Ribs with each other. Tne cartilages ot the 6th, 7th, ana Sth ribsarticulate with each other by an oval-shaped facet, each having a capsule enclosing a synovial membrane. Articulations of the Ribs with their Cartilages. Tne costal end of each cartilage tits into a depression in the sternal end of the rib, and is bound down by periosteum.-' VIII.—LIGAMENTS OF THE STERNUM. The ist and 2nd pieces are united by a piece of cartilage, kept together by the following two ligaments : The anterior sternal ligament consists of longitudinal fibres, which blend with the costo-sternal ligaments. The posterior sternal ligament: similar to the preceding, placed on the back of the sternum. IX.—ARTICULATION OF THE PELVIS WITH THE SPINE. The following ligaments connect the 5th lumbar vertebra with the sacrum, and are similar to the common vertebral ones : 1. The continuations of the anterior and posterior common ligaments. 2. 1 he intervertebral substance between the last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum. 3. The ligamenta subflava between the laminae of the last lumbar vertebra and the margins of upper opening of the sacral canal. 4. Capsular ligaments, between the articulating processes. 5. Intersmnoas and supraspinous ligaments. Besides these, there are the following special ligaments: The lumbo-sacral or sacro-vertebral ligament: attached above to the tront of tip oi transverse process of the 5th
