The Hepatic Artery shows some abnormalities. 



I. Gastro-duodenal is a short thick trunk, arising near the com- 

 mencement of the hepatic artery, and dividing into three 

 parts. 



(a) One passing down over pancreas to terminate in the 



accessory hepatic. 



(b) Another to anastomose with asc. branches of accessory 



hepatic. 



(c) A large branch, coursing to the right below and parallel 



to the hepatic, to terminate finally in it. 

 The Gastro-duod. does not give off the right gastro-epiplo. 



II. The pyloric and cystic branches are normal in direction and 

 distribution, but the latter is of a smaller calibre than usual.

Rectus Sternalis. 



Origin Below manubrium of the sternum, opposite the second inter- 

 costal space. Muscle was in. in width here, and its tendon continued for 

 two-fifths of its whole length, which was 5 inches. 



Insertion In the sheath of the rectus, over the sixth rib, at a distance 

 of two inches and a half from the sternum. The tendon was short at this 

 end. The muscle did not lie in a straight line with the sterno-mastoid, but 

 to the right, and less obliquely than it. No nerve supply was discernible 

 and the fascia between it and the pectoralis was extremely thin. Muscle was 

 not present on right side.
