 anterior cutaneous sural nerve. The last named has been examined 

 already.

smaller of the two terminal branches of the common peroneal. It 

 crosses very obliquely the surface of the peronseus longus muscle, to 

 v?hich it furnishes a branch, runs down the groove between the 

 peronpeus longus and the extensor digitorum longus, and ends in the 

 skin over the anterior and lateral surfaces of the leg, tarsus, and 

 metatarsus.
