Peculiarities, Double Femoral Reunited.—Several cases are recorded in which the femoral artery divided into two trunl;s below the origin of the profunda, and became reunited near the opening of the Adductor magnus so as to form a single popliteal artery. One of them occurred in a patient operated upon for popliteal aneurism. Change of Position.—A few cases have been recorded in which the femoral artery was situated at the back of the thigh, the vessel being continuous above with the internal iliac, escap- ing from the pelvis through the great sacrosciatic foramen, and accompanying the great sciatic nerve to the po])Hteal space, where its division occurred in the usual manner. The external iliac in these cases was small, and terminated in the profunda. Position of the Vein.—The femoral vein is occasionally placed along the inner side of the artery, throughout the entire extent of Scarpa's triangle, or it may be divided so that a large vein is placed on each side of the artery for a greater or less extent.
