In order to facilitate comparison, the direction of the shading in the different lobes is varied, all parts of the same lobe being shaded in the same direction, whilst the lobes on each side are differently shaded; the left lateral, however, so far overlaps the left central as to appear to be connected with the right central. the right into four, the extra one on the right side (the azygos) behind and nearly in the middle line.
