1811 J. Bell Anat. Human Body (ed. 3) II. 515 Whilst it [sc. the tibial nerve] is yet in the hollow behind the joint formed by the hamstring tendons, it gives off a nerve which comes out from the ham, and descends superficially on the back of the leg. This has been called ramus communicans tibialis.

1893 H. St. J. Brooks in H. Morris Treat. Human Anat. v. 864 Each of the thoracic ganglia is connected to the corresponding spinal nerve by two rami communicantes, a white and a grey. The white ramus communicans consists of medullated fibres... The grey ramus communicans or revehent nerve is formed of non-medullated fibres.

1946 Gray's Anat. (ed. 29) 1078 The sensory root [of the ciliary ganglion] is formed by a ramus communicans from the nasociliary nerve.
