In the same paper another caseis mentioned in which the veme comites of the posteriortibial, instead of uniting to form the popliteal, continuedup as two veins, being joined by the external saphenous,and going up on the adductor magnus to open into theprofunda vein near the first perforating artery. Thewriter has seen the external saphenous empty about themiddle of the thigh into an abnormal popliteal veinwhich passed up the back of the thigh to join the pro-funda. The external saphenous may empty into mus-cular branches in the adductor magnus. Branches ofconnnunication have been seen between the perforatingand ischiatic veins and the external saphenous. Internal Saphenous Vein.—This vein may pierce thefascia lata higher or lower than usual. It may bedoubled, or may form an island. It may
