Fig. 22. Diagrammatic representation of the principal 

 blood vessels and their distribution. The 

 principal viscera are introduced into the 

 figure in order to shew the distribution of 

 the vessels only. Their space relations to 

 each other are not accurately shewn. The 

 intestine is represented for simplicity's sake 

 as a single coil. The hepatic portal system 

 is not shewn, nor the distribution of the 

 carotid arteries. The arteries are cross

 cranial nerves of the ocular side. The two 

 scales in this and other figures refer to the 

 numbers of the sections. Sensory canals 

 coloured green. Their sense organs and 

 surface pores are numbered in each canal 

 from before backwards. Eye muscle nerves 

 cross striated. The numerals refer to the 

 numbers of the cranial nerves. Note the

Fig. 24. Reconstruction of the left ear and auditory
