Fig. 26:This figure, representing a case of double aortic arch, was taken from Tiedemann (1822), fig, 7, Plate IV, representing a case described by Malacarne (1788), Pt. 2, p. 119; it was copied by Quain (1844) as Fig. 8, Plate V, and by Krause (1876) as Fig. 108a.

Fig. 27:This figure, representing a case in which the arch alone is double, was taken from Tiedemann (1822), Fig. 6, Plate IV, representing a case by Hommel (1737). It is referred to in Haller's (1760) Elementary Physiology, Tom. 2, p. 162, and copied by Quain (1844) as Fig. 7, Plate V, and by Krause (1876) as Fig. 108b.

Fig. 28:This figure, representing a case of right aortic arch with the left subclavian artery as the last branch and the ductus arteriosus patient, was taken from Quain (1844), Fig. 2, Plate VII.

Fig. 29:This figure, representing a case of right aortic arch with a left innorninate trunk, was taken from Tiedemann (1822), Fig. 9., Plate IV.

Fig. 30:This figure, representing a case of persistence of both the right and the left ductus arteriosus, was taken from Breschet (1826), Fig. 9, Plate I.

Fig. 31:This figure, representing the more or less common variant of the left carotid artery springing from the innominate trunk, was copied from Tiedemann (1822), Fig 5, Plate II.

Fig. 32:This figure, representing a case of right aortic arch, with left subclavian artery as the last branch and the right vertebral springing from the arch, was taken from Abbot (1892), Fig. 1.

Fig. 33:This figure, representing a case of atresia of the pulmonary artery, was taken from Keith (1909), Fig. 4; the pulmonary artery leaves the heart as a fibrous cord but rapidly enlarges to about normal, the ductus arteriosus is patent.

Fig. 34: This figure, representing a case of thyroidea ima springing from the arch, was taken from Neubauer (1786), Fig. 2, Plate VII.

Fig. 35: This figure representing a case of bi-innominate trunks, was taken from Tiedemann (1822), Fig. 4, Plate II, and copied by Quain (1844), Fig. 9, Plate VI.

Fig. 36:This figure was drawn from a specimen of left common carotid springing from the innominate, which is in the Warren Museum (Harvard University).

Fig. 37:This figure, representing a single branch from the aortic arch, was taken from Tiedemann (1822), Fig. 3, Plate II, illustrating a case of Klinz (1793), p. 273. It was copied by Quain (1844), Fig. 6, Plate V. Abbreviations used in figures; A, aorta; AD, aorta descends (descending aorta); C, a. carotis (carotid); CD, a. carotis communis dextra (right common carotid); CS, a carotis sinistra (left common carotid); D, ductus arteriosus (Botalli); EC, a. carotis externa (external carotid); IC, a carotis interna (internal carotid); O, esophagus; P, a. pulmonalis (pulmonary); SD, a subelavia dextra (right subclavian); SS, a subclavia sinistra; T, trachea; TD ductus thoracicus (thoracic duct); VD, a. vertebralis dextra (right vertebral); VS, a vertebralis sinistra (left vertebral).
