V'aleutiu, and other German and French Anatomists, describe very minutely the supply ol the pai vagum to the liver, but do not agree with each other. 7. Ur. Sharpev has kindly given me a copy of a Prize Essay, entitled “ Fber'den Verlauf des Lungenmagennerven in der Bauchhohle,’'by Dr. J. Kollmann z. z. Assistent an der kgl. Anatomie in Munchen, Leiiizig, 18()0, with two lithographic plates of the distribution of the par vagum. In the sunnnary at the end of the Essay we find the lollow- in<T; “ Der vordere liungenmagennerv endigt an dein inagen und der leber,” and , . , . , • i “Der hintere 1 aingemnagennerv begiebt sich nur mit clem kleinern theilc seiner fasern zum magen, mit dem bei weitein grossern verzweigt sich an der leber, der niilz, der mere und nehenniere, der Bauchspeicheldrusc und dem ganzen In this Ess iy there is also given au excellent resuind of the researches of previous German and French Anatomists, into the distribution of the par vagum in the abdomen. The account of the liver nerves by Kollmann appears to be more in accordance with what might be expected from analogy, and from pathological observation and inference, than the descriptions of the otl.er .lutliors But the vagueness and unsatisfactoiy state of our knowledge on the abote subject, must now be eviclent. _ . „„ j Besides, although some Anatomists mention anterior a posterior hepatic plexuses, yet only few, as John Reid, Swan, S Valenti!., appUr to have distinguished plexuses or nerves of the ricrlit, from plexuses, or nerves of the left lobe, and we know little as to the ultimate destination of the nerves m the distribution, the ^hstance, of kno^ ledge we an])ear to possess is as follows.—1 he ephme svinnatheti and pneiiinogastnc branches enter the Iner supported hv the hepatic artery and its branches, along which tb^y nmy be traced a comidcrable wy in the portal eana^^^ but their ultimate distribution is not known.
