![twigs running along the oesophageal branch of the coeliac axis, coronary plexus, and oesophageal nerves, which ramify over the lower end of the oesophagus. It anastomoses with branches of the right vagus. The right vagus (R.V) passes through the posterior part of the oesophageal opening in the diaphragm, and it ends in the left semilunar ganglion. The branches are very numerous and extend widely in the abdomen. They are:— 1. (Esophageal nerves (O.N) to the back of the lower end of the oesophagus. Text-figure 46. Abdominal parts of the vagus and sympathetic nerves. Letters in text. 2. Gastric nerves (L.C.N) running along the lesser curvature of the stomach. 3. Twigs to the hepatic (H.P), coronary (G.P), splenic (S), superior mesenteric (S.M.P), inferior mesenteric (I.M.P), and aortic (A.G.C) plexuses. The twigs can be traced far into the plexus, some in fact being so well marked that they can be followed to the organs. I did not trace twigs as far as the ctecum nor could I trace them to the sigmoid and rectum. Proc. Zool.
