THE MUSCLES OF THE UPPER EXTREMITY. 81 



52. The latissimus dorsi, 1 next to the dermal muscles 

 of the region, is the most superficial muscle of the dorsum. 



1 From Gadow (loc. cit., pp. 226, 227) I obtain the following 

 synonymy of the latissimus dorsi :

This author splits the latissimus dorsi up into " I. Der vordere 

 Theil ; II. Der hintere Theil ; III. Die Pars metapatagialis." 

 These several divisions of the muscle as thus divided receive 

 quite careful description at his hands, while for the physiology of 

 the muscle he republishes the observations of Prechtl, as he does 

 those of Fiirbricger for the comparative morphology.
