 The following communications were made 



(1) Dr T. H. Bryce read a further note of the Deej:) Accessory Pero- 

 neal Nerve of Ruge in Alan. 



In a paper published in the Proceedings of the Society in October 

 1896, under the title of "A Long Muscular Branch of the Musculo- 

 cutaneous Nerve of the Leg," I described a nerve which I identified 

 with a nerve described by Ruge in the lower mammals, and called by 

 him the " deep accessory peroneal nerve." 



Since that date I have examined 15 subjects — 90 extremities — and 

 have met with the nerve in its complete form only once. In this 

 instance the relations of the nerve are exactly as previously described.
