accompany the trunks of the carotid and vertebral arteries,and probably pass through foramina at the base of the skull, to terminate in thedeep cervical glands. They have not at present been demonstrated in the duramater or in the substance of the brain. 41 642 THE LYMPHATICS. The Lymphatic Glands of the Neck are divided into two sets, superficial and deep. The superficial cervical glands (Fig. 424) are placed in the course of theexternal jugular vein between the Platysma and deep fascia. They are mostnumerous at the root of the neck, in the triangular interval between the clavicle,the Sterno-mastoid, and the Trapezius, where they are continuous with the axillaryglands. A few small glands are also found on the front and sides of the larynx. The deep cervical glands (Fig. 425) are numerous and of large size ; they forman uninterrupted chain along the sheath of the carotid artery and internal jugularvein, lying by the side of the pharynx, oesophagus, and trachea, and extending Fig. 425.

The Deep Lymphatics and Glands of the Neck and Thorax. from the base of the skull to the thorax, where they communicate with the lym-phatic glands in that cavity. The superficial and deep cervical lymphatics are a continuation of thosealready described on the cranium and face. After traversing the glands in thoseregions they pass through the chain of glands which lie along the sheath of thecarotid vessels, being joined by the lymphatics from the pharynx, oesophagus,larynx, trachea, and thyroid gland. At the lower part of the neck, after receivingsome lymphatics from the thorax, they unite into a single trunk, which terminateson the left side in the thoracic duct; on the right side, in the right lymphatic duct. LYMPHATICS OF THE UPPER EXTREMITY. 643 Lymphatics of the Upper Extremity. The Lymphatic Glands of the Upper Extremity (Fig. 426) may be sub-divided into two sets, superficial and deep. The superficial lymphatic glands are few and of small size. There areoccasionally two or three
