    THIS Plate exhibits a view of:— 1. The phrenic nerve ramifying on the diaphragm. 2. The distribution of the great sympathetic nerve: it is seen run- ning by the sides of the vertebras, forming ganglia between the ribs by uniting with branches from the spinal marrow; sending twigs to the spermatic ganglia, the anterior crural nerve, the great ischiatic and obturatory nerves, and to the hypogastric plexuses. 3. The origin of the splanchnic nerve, which with the par vagum forms the coeliac plexuses and ganglia in the abdomen. 4. The origin and distribution of the external spermatic nerve.
