ANATOMY IN A NUTSHELL. 305 the Levator anguli scapulae and the Scalenus medius muscles and under the Sterno-cleiclo-m ast o id. The branches of this plexus are superficial and deep. The superficial ones divide into ascending and descending, while the deep divide into internal and external. The ascending branches are, (1) small occipital. (2) great auricular, (3) transverse cervical (this branch is sometimes called a transverse branch instead of an ascending branch). The descending branches are also three, which come from one main trunk— the supraclavicular. These branches are, (1) suprasternal, (2) supraclavicular, and (3) supra-acromial. The internal branches are, (1) communicating, (2) muscular, (3) communi- cans hypoglossi, (4) phrenic. PLATE CXXXVII.

The external branches are, (1) communicating, (2) muscular. The small occipital nerve (Plate CCXVI) is sometimes double and it varies in size. This nerve is derived from the second cervical nerve (and third) and :it'u !• passing to the back of the posterior border of the Sterno-cleido-mastoid, it passes along this muscle to the mastoid process of the temporal bone where it perforates the deep fascia and passes into the superficial fascia of the scalp. It breaks up into three branches. (1) An auricular branch which supplies the integument on the inner and upper part of the pina. (2) A mastoid branch which is distributed to the integument on the mastoid process. (3) Occipital branches which are distributed to the integument of the scalp and communi- cate with the great occipital, great auricular, and posterior auricular nerves. The great auricular nerve (Plate CCXVI) is derived from t
