This unusual division occurs, at one time on both, at another only upon one side ; sometimes on the right side, at the distance of not more than an inch from the arteria inpminata; and some- times in different places between this and the common point of separation. Morgagni (de Sed. et Causis Morborum, Lib. iii. Epist. 29. Art. 20.)—in a female subject, aged 50, observed the left common carotid artery divided into two branches, scarcely half an inch from its origin. Burns, (1. c. p. 327.) and Ryan, (1. c. p. 4.) have seen a similar case. b The superior thyroid artery sometimes arises from the com- mon carotid artery—(Burns, B. c. p. 329—J. F. Meckel, Patholog. Anat. b. ii. Abtli. 1. p. 112.—Barclay, a Descrip- tion of the Arteries of the Human Body, Edin. 1812, 8. p. 13.) —and sometimes forms a common trunk with the lingual ar- tery, taking its origin either from the common carotid artery (Boyer,) or from the external carotid artery, (Burns, 1. c. p. 329.) c I have often seen the superior laryngeal artery coming off from the trunk of the external carotid. Haller (Iconum. Anat. Fasc. ii. p. 4.) has observed this distribution five times. It sometimes arises from the lingual artery, which I once happened to see in the body of a boy twelve years of age. It, for the most part, enters the larynx between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage, but seldom proceeds to the interior of it be- twixt the thyroid and cricoid cartilage, as is represented by Sabatier, (Traite d’Anatomic, Paris 1781, 8. t. 3. p. 15.) and Murray, (Descriptio Alter. Corp. Hum. in Tab. Redacta, Lips. 1794. p. 11 ;) or through the opening in the thyroid.car- tilage—( Sommering, 1. c. p. 126.) d The lingual artery sometimes forms a common trunk with the labial or external maxillary. I have seen this variety ten times. Haller (b. c. p. 5,) in seven out of 50 subjects, ob- served the lingual to arise in common with the labial. Burns (b. c. p. 330.) asserts that he has seen a similar arrangement. J 84. The ascending pharyngeal artery.' 85. The occipital artery.f 86.

Internal maxillary artery. 102. The trunk of the subclavian artery. 103. Internal mammary artery. 104. A small branch of the sar%e artery which runs round the clavicle to the pectoralis major muscle, between portions of the ster- no-cleido mastoid-muscle. 105. The corresponding small branch of the left side. 106. 106, 106, 106. The external branches of the internal mammary artery, perforating the intercostal muscles. e The ascending .pharyngeal artery usually takes its origin either from the external carotid, or at the point where the com- mon carotid divides. I have, however, repeatedly seen it arise from the occipital and superior thyroid. Haller (1. c. p. 4.) has likewise observed the same arrangement. Sometimes there are two pharyngeal arteries present; one of these branching off from the above-mentioned angle ; another immediately below or above the lingual, forms the second or third branch of the external carotid. f I have tw'ice seen the occipital artery proceeding from the internal carotid. Haller gives an account of a similar case, (1. c. P- 2.) s The posterior auricular artery frequently arises from the occipital, as FIaller has correctly observed, (1. c. p. 8.) h The distribution of the transverse artery of the face is so irregular, that, in the same head, it is seldom alike on both sides. Sometimes it is so large that it sends the whole of the small branches to tlie upper lip and nose, which commonly are given off by the facial.—(Vide Haller, Icon. Anat. Fasc. 3. p. 12. Tabula Arteriarum faciei, ubi Arteriam Garonariam lubii superioris, emittit.) Sometimes, also, it is so small that it only enters the orbicularis palpebrarum
