    Figure VIII. Shows the arch of the aorta, from which a trunk common to both carotids arises, and each subclavian formed by a trunk proper to itself, and originating in a singular manner, so that the left subclavian is situated in the middle, while the right is placed on the left side. This figure is taken from the observations of Wal- ter. A—Ascending aorta. B—Common trunk of the carotids. 1,1.—Right carotid. 2, 2.—Left carotid. 3— Left subclavian artery. 4— Right subclavian artery behind those trunks proceeding to the right side. C—Portion of the thoracic aorta. HuNAULB/ HoMMEL,b NTeUBAUER/ J. F. Meckel,d Walter/ and J. F- Meckel, (the grandsonr) have each remarked the branches of the arch of the aorta arising in this manner. The right-subclavian generally proceeds behind the oesophagus and trachea to the right arm ; but, in the case which Walter describes, it runs over the trachea. Figure IX. Represents a variety observed by Walter/ agreeing completely with Fig. vii. A—Aorta. B—Arteria innominata. 1,1.—Right subclavian artery. 2. —Vertebral artery. 3. —Right carotid. 4— Left carotid. 5— Left vertebral artery. 6— Left subclavian. Ed. Sandifort11 describes a similar case as oc- curring in the body of a female. a Hist, de l’Acad. des Sciences de Paris, an 1737, p. 20, Nro. 7. b Commercium Litterarium Norimberg. 1737, p. 162, Tab. 2.
