The third abnormality consists of a thin slip of muscle coming off the 

 lower half of the inner surface of the brachialis anticus muscle. This slip of 

 muscle lies between the brachial artery and the median nerve, and is inserted 

 by a thin tendon into the upper part of the pronator radii teres muscle.

Abnormal Vascular Supply to Liver. 



From the coeliac axis came quite a small arterial branch coursing up 

 in the normal fashion of the hepatic artery. This representative of the main 

 trunk, instead of being intermediate in size between the gastric and splenic 

 branches of the axis, was considerably smaller than either. It had the normal 

 relations of the hepatic artery in the small omentum, running up to the 

 transverse fissure on the left of the bile duct. 



From the superior mesenteric artery, about an inch and a half from its 

 origin in the aorta, there arose a fairly large branch a little more than a 

 quarter of an inch in diameter at its commencement. It lay in relation with 

 the splenic vein behind and further up with the inferior vena cava. Entering 

 the small omentum it lay behind and between the bile duct and the portal 

 vein, and entered the transverse fissure of the liver to the right of the first 

 artery. It gave off branches to the right and left lobes and a small one to 

 the gall bladder representing the cystic artery. 



The branches of this artery were two small duodenal and pancreatic 

 arteries, coming off at its commencement. 



The splenic in this subject gave off what would represent the gastro 

 duodenal artery shortly after its commencement, arid this supplied the 



stomach, &c. (Signature of observer) W. G. THOMSON.

Abnormal Branching of Brachial Artery. 



The brachial artery divides into two branches about the middle of the 

 arm, and the branches pass under the bicipital fascia. Above the division
