54 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ANATOMICAL AND ANTHROPOI.OOICAI, 



RECORD OF ANATOMICAL VARIATIONS. 



Date of observation, 28th October, 1908. 



Sex of subject, Male. 



Side or region of subject, Right side. 



Abnormal Origin of Superior Profunda Artery. 



In this subject the superior profunda artery arises from the posterior 

 circumflex instead of from the back part of the brachial artery. This abnormal 

 superior profunda passes down the internal border of the external head of 

 the triceps, enters the musculo-spiral groove and anastomosis in the usual 

 manner at the elbow joint. This condition was not present in the opposite 

 limb.

Date of observation, 10th November, 1908. 



Sex of subject, Male. 



Side or region of subject, Right submaxillary region. 



Abnormal Hyoylossus Muscle. 



The hyoglossus muscle here is abnormal, in that its posterior part is 

 inserted into the inner surface of the inferior maxillary band at a point just 

 posterior to the origin of the mylo-hyoid. Into this band of fibres of the 

 hyoglossus is inserted the styloglossus muscle, which in this case arises 

 wholly from the stylo-mandibular ligament. 



The stylohyoid and stylopharyngeus muscles are normal, but there is an 

 additional band of muscular fibres arising from the styloid process, which 

 passes obliquely down, joining the hyoglossus muscle at about its middle, 

 and then sending down an aponeurosis to be attached to the lesser corner 

 of the hyoid band. This band is separated from the stylopharyngeus by the 

 glossopharyngeal nerve, and might, perhaps, be regarded as a superficial part 

 of the stylopharyngeus muscle.
