paffage; bringing back the blood, being purified, from the kidneys to the vere cava. 
3: The jpermaticz, or {permatic veins, the right arifing a little below the rife of the 
emalgent ; and the left arifing from the emulgent, feldom from the cava, fometimes 
from both. 5. Lumbares, or loin-veins, fometimes two, three, or four, which are 
carried between the four vertebre of the loins. «6. After thefe branches the trunk 
goes towards the os facrum, and at the fourth vertedre of the loins itgoes under the 
aorta, and is divided into two branches, called rami ilii or iliaci, becaufe they go over 
the os ilii and os pubis, to the thigh: thefe diac branches, as foonas nie have left she 
Cavity of the belly, are called vene crurales, or the leg-veins: ~ 
“From the rami ilii arife two veins: firlt, mufcula fuperior, which fend ‘veins to 
the peritoneum, and mufcles of the loins and belly : fecondly, vena facra, which is 
fometimes fingle, fometimes double, for the marrow of the os facrum. From thence 
the ramus iliacus is forked out on each fide into the external greater and. internal 
fmaller. From the internal finaller proceed two veins ; firft, mu/cula media without, 
which fends veins to the mufcles on the outfide of the hip, and fkin of the buttocks: 
fecondly, hypogaftrica, which is fometimes double, fending veins to many parts of 
the bypogaftricum, as to the bladder and its neck, to the penis or yard, to the mut- 
cles of the inteffinum rectum, whence are the Lemorrboides externa, and to the lower 
fide and neck of the womb, when¢e are thofe veins by which the courfes flow 
in: maidens and women with child ; but, when the courfes are naturally voided, 
they flow from the arteries, as appears from their excellent colour and the common 
office of the arteries, From the external greater proceed three veins: 1. Epigaf- 
érica, which fend branches to the peritoneum and mufcles of the abdomen: the 
principal j parts afcend under the right mufcles to the mammarie, with whom they 
ATE often joined about the navel. 2. Pudenda, which fends to the privities in mén 
‘and women, and goes z acrofs t to the middle of the os pubis. 3. Mufcula inferior, which, 
_pafling over the hip, ferves the mufcle and fkin of the part ; from hence posses 
‘the iliac branches, as foon ; as they have left the belly, are called crurals. ae 
The crural veins are intervoven with: Tittle glandules in the bending of the thigh, 
and from them proceed fix branches, 1. The ifebias or ifthiatica minor, which i is 
_Oppofite to the faphena, and ferves the fkin and mufcles of the hip. 2. Uchias or 
- Ytbiatica major fends branches to the hip, and a part to the mufcles of the calf, and 
then divides itfelf into ten branches, beftowing a couple upon each toe. 3. Popiites, 
‘the: ham-vein, made of a double crural. branch, mixed together: it runs ftraight 
vunder the fkin behind through the midft of the bending of the ham to the eel, 
and fometimes'to the fkin of the external ancle,. 4, Suralis, a great vein, and is di- oe 
‘vided into the external ENT, internal and greater s and | each of chet acai
