axis) gives off two small branches to the under surface of trapezius, and 

 then divides into the inferior thyroid and transverse cervical (transversa 

 colli). The transverse cervical gives off the ascending cervical close to its 

 origin, and under trapezius divides into an ascending branch (superficial cer- 

 vical) and a descending branch, transverse scapular (suprascapular).

Abnormal Intercostal Vein's. 



In this subject the abnormality occurred in the arrangement of the left 

 intercostal veins. The left inferior intercostal was formed by veins from the 

 second, third, and fourth spaces. The vena azygos minor superior is absent, 

 the veins which severally compose it going directly into the vena azygos major. 

 The ninth intercostal vein, which usually goes into the vena azygos minor 

 inferior, opens into the vena azygos major direct, which the vena azygos minor 

 inferior receives the veins of only the tenth and eleventh spaces, before it enters 

 the vena azygos major.

 abnormally large inferior meatuses.
