We have found the two remaining layers not to be distinct but to consist of freely interlacing muscle fibers, and we prefer to designate them as the detrusor muscle of the bladder. Scher1 has recently described "right and left lateral muscle bands which are more distinct and separate than the trigone muscle." These bands are described as originating in the posterior wall of the
