    li r O? GO ^ iO Figure I. Five branches arising from the arch of the aorta have also been observed. , b.—Arch of the aorta. . Right subclavian artery. . Right carotid artery. . Left carotid artery. . Left vertebral artery. . Subclavian artery of the left side. Petsciie1 and Loder2 saw such a dis- position of branches arising from the arch of the aorta. Figure II. a, b.—Arch of the aorta. 1. Right carotid. 2. Left carotid. 3. Left vertebral artery. 4. Left subclavian. 5. Right subclavian going to the right arm behind the trunks arising from the arch of the aorta, and behind the oesophagus and trachea. Koberwein3 has observed this variety. Figure III. In addition to the usual three branches, the right internal mammary artery sometimes 1 1. c. § 44.

Right subclavian. 2. Right carotid. 3. Right internal mammary, or thoracic artery. 4. Left carotid. 5. Vertebral artery of the left side. 6. Left subclavian. Sometimes instead of the right mammary, the inferior thyroid artery takes its origin from the arch of the aorta. J. F. Meckel2 has observed this variety twice. Figure IV. Sometimes the vertebral arteries of both sides arise from the arch of the aorta. Pexada,’ Fiorati,4 and Meckel,5 relate such cases. а, b.—Arch of the aorta, c. —Arteria innominata. 1.
