VIII. MUSCLES OF THE HIND LIMBS (p. 186). 



Remove the skin and superficial fascia from the lateral surface of 

 the thigh. Examine the fascia lata (p. 186, and Fig. 68, z). 

 Dissect : 



1. The biceps femoris (p. 194, and Fig. 68, /). Work under its 

 cranial and caudal borders. Find the tenuissimus (Fig. 90, g] pass- 

 ing obliquely beneath it and reaching its caudal border in its distal 

 half. Transect the biceps without injuring the tenuissimus, and 

 reflect its halves. 



2. The tenuissimus (p. 195, and Fig. 90, g}. Transect. 



3. The caudofemoralis (p. 195, and Fig. 68, s). Transect. 



4. The gluteus maximus (p. 187). Transect. 



5. The sartorius (p. 197, and Fig. 68, q; Fig. 91, a}. Transect. 



6. The tensor fasciae latae (p. 187, and Fig. 68, r). Cut the fascia 

 lata along the distal end of the muscle-fibres and reflect the muscle. 



7. The gluteus medius (p. 188, and Fig. 90, b). Work under it 

 carefully, separating it from underlying muscles; cut it close to its 

 tendon of insertion, and reflect it. 



8. The pyriformis (p. 188, and Fig. 163, T, p. 401). Cut and 

 reflect it. 



9. The gemellus superior (p. 189, and Fig. 163, e). This and 

 the next muscle will sometimes be found to be completely united. 

 Transect. 



10. The gluteus minimus (p. 189, and Fig. 163, 5). Transect. 



11. The obturator internus (p. 192, and Fig. 90, e}. Cut it at 

 the dorsal border of the ischium in order to reflect it. The whole 

 origin cannot be seen at this stage. 



12. The gemellus inferior (p. 190). 



13. The gracilis (p. 198, and Fig. 91, 3). Transect. 



14. The semitendinosus (p. 196, and Figs. 90 and 91, /; Fig. 

 92, z'). Transect. 



15. The semimembranosus (p. 196, and Figs. 90 and 91, /'; Fig. 

 92, h, h'}. Transect. 



16. The adductor femoris (p. 198, and Figs. 90 and 91, h; Fig. 

 92, g). Transect. 



17. The quadratus femoris (p. 191, and Fig. 90, _/"). Transect. 



1 8. The obturator externus (p. 191). 



19. The adductor longus (p. 199, and Fig. 92, _/"). This and 

 the following will sometimes be found to be almost completely 

 united. Transect. 



20. The pectineus (p. 200, and Fig. 92, e}. Transect. 



21. The iliopsoas (p. 193, and Fig. 91, c; Fig. 92, d). Only 

 its distal part, near the insertion, can be seen at present. 



22. The capsularis (p. 190). Transect. 



23. The quadriceps femoris (p. 201). Isolate the rectus femoris 

 (Fig. 92, b) as far as its junction with the vastus lateralis; cut it at
