given off from the first epibranchial (/. ant. car. and r. ant. car.)< 

 and from the hyoidean arteries (/. post. car. and r. post, car.), and 

 the latter also gives off a lingual artery to the tongue. From 

 the last (fourth) epibranchial artery arises the pulmonary artery 

 (I. pul. art. and r. pul. art.), carrying blood to the lung.

There are two ductus Cuvieri (d. c.\ as in the Dog-fish (p. 146). 

 The right ductus is formed by the union of jugular (l.jug. v. and 

 r. jug. v.), l)rachial (1. br. v. and r. br. v.), and subscapular veins 

 (I. sc. v. and r. sc. v.). The left receives in addition a left posterior 

 cardinal vein (I. post. card.). A large lateral cutaneous vein running 

 superficially along the side of the body opens into the subscapular.
