branches are not included in the table because the data concerning them 
are too incomplete. It is possible that in several instances the small 
cutaneous twig which anastomoses with the medial cutaneous nerve was 
lost in dissection. This table therefore indicates a minimum number 
of instances in which the obturator furnished a cutaneous branch. The 
same is true of the nerve to the pectineus muscle. ; 
The parentheses in the table indicate the simultaneous division of a 
nerve trunk into the branches included within them. The commas indi- 
cate that the division of the nerves thus separated took place later than 
that of the combined nerve from the parent trunk.
