A case is reported by J. W. Williams** in which theright omohyoid muscle, instead of passing over the vein, played by means of its intermediary tendon through aslit iu the vessel. In some cases the temporo-facial trunk fails to emptyinto the internal jugular, the external receiving all itsblood. R. Quain reports a case in wliich a very large anteriorjugular vein communicated with the internal jugularover the carotid artery (see Fig. 4998). The internal jugular may receive the vertebral, thetransverse cervical, and the supiascapular veins. A su-perior intercostal has been seen to empty into it (Lauth);.

The internal jugular is seen covering the upperpart of the carotid artery. (R. Quain.) or a large bronchial vein (Weber). The external jugularhas been seen to empty into the internal about the mid-dle of the neck (Fiihrer).
