_Circulation of the Blood_ (Vol. ii., p. 475.).--The passage in Venerable
Bede referred to by J.MN. may have been in a tract _De Minutione Sanguinis
sive de Phlebotomia_; (which occurs in the folio editions, Basle, vol. i.
p. 472.; Colon., vol. i. p. 898.). In the enumeration of the veins from
which blood may be taken, he says,--
"De brachio tres, _qui per totum corpus reddunt sanguinem_, capitanea
linea, matricia, capsale."
The subject of bleeding is again referred to in _Eccl. Hist._, vol. iii,
but not to the purpose.
