 mediastinal vein ending at about half of the length ; radial vein ending 

 at a little beyond three-fourths of the length ; cubital vein ending near 

 the tip of the costal ; prajbrachial vein forming a hardly obtuse angle at 

 the flexure, which emits a short branch, much bent inward near this, 

 almost straight from thence to the tip ; discal transverse vein with very 

 indistinct curves, parted by less than its length from the flexure of the 

 prffibrachial, and by much more than its length from the border.
