through a tracheaUs plexus, but the left cardiac passes directly to the 

 heart. 



4. The descending rami of the //ypOi;/ossus contribute to the inner- 

 vation of the sterno-cleidomastoides muscle, while the ansa hypoglossi 

 are supplied solely from the first two cervicals. 



5. The auricidaris magnus and siibcufaneiis colli iiicdins arise only 

 from C. II, thesitpraclaviculares from C. II-IV. 



6. The phrenic nerve of both sides contains indubitable sympa- 

 thetic fibres, and on the right it is directly connected with D. I and the 

 ganglion stellatum. 



7. C. VII on the right side for the most part and on the left entirely 

 passes to the middle medianus root of the brachial plexus. 



8. The suprascapniaris arises from C. IV and V, instead of C. V 

 and VI, as in man. 



9. The dorsalis sciip/{l<c is present only partially on the left side, 

 being replaced by C. Ill and IV (and for the M. rhomboides by D. Ill 

 and VI). 



10. The axillaris springs from all the plexal nerves and contains 

 also the branch to the teres major. 



11. There is no distinct siihclaviits. 



12. Cittaneus hrachii i)iternus is chiefly formed from a lateral branch 

 of D. I and the inter-costo-humei-alis. 



13. The iiiiisciilocittaiieiis receives no fibres from C. VII and gives 

 oft" a branch to the coracobrachialis muscle. 



14. The iilnaris and medianus give a fine fibre to the brachialis 

 artery. The ramus volaris profundus of the unar springs from a strong 

 anastamosis with the medianus, passing under the lig. carp, volare into 

 the hand. 



15. The cittaneus brack ii post. sup. of the radialis is wanting, its 

 place being taken b>' a descending branch of the axillaris. 



16. The clunium superior and a subcostalis passes from D. XII 

 under the thirteenth rib. 



17. The ileohvpogastricus receives a branch from D. XII. 



iS. The genitocruralis bears fibres for the rami communicantes of 

 the sympathetic and the obturatorius. 



19. The cruralis receives most of its fibres from L. IV. 



20. The peroneus springs from the posterior surface of the ischiatic 

 plexus, as also the clunium inferior, glutei, and pyriform nerves, while 

 the tibialis, cutaneus fem. post, and the nerves to the obturator internus 

 quadratus gemelli and flexors cruras spring from the anterior surface. 



21. No fibres caudad to the second sacral enter the ischiatic plexus. 



22. The pudendalis plexus is formed by the second and third sacrals, 

 while coccygeus plexus springs from S. IV and V. 



23. The tibialis and peroneus each give oft' to the knee an articular 

 branch with numerous Pacini's bodies.
