the common peroneal nerve are : (1) To the biceps muscle ; (2) a 

 filament which joins the posterior cutaneous sural nerve ; and (3) the 

 anterior -cutaneous sural nerve. The last named has been examined 

 already.

smaller of the two terminal branches of the common peroneal. It 

 crosses very obliquely the surface of the peronteus longus muscle, to 

 which it furnishes a branch, runs down the groove between the 

 peronseus longus and the extensor digitorum longus, and ends in the 

 skin over the anterior and lateral surfaces of the leg, tarsus, and 

 metatarsus.
