The description of the superficial veins of the face and neck was based upon the dissection of 28 male and female adult tufted or brown capuchin monkeys ( Cebus apella ), captured in southern Goiás, Brazil. Although the venous arrangement of these areas is basically the same in all primates, some characteristic differences were noted: 1. the anterior jugular and common facial veins were absent; 2. most specimens had a venous hyoid arch, and a connecting vessel between the external jugular and subclavian veins; 3. the inferior petrosal sinus drains into the external jugular v. through the postglenoid foramen; 4. the facial, lingual and cephalic veins open into the external jugular vein; 5. both the internal and external jugular veins have about the same diameter; 6. the vascular pattern appears to be quite stable; anatomical variations appear to be few and unimportant.
