they arife from the tendons of the mufculus profundus by the wrift , and, being drawn 
out along the fides of the fingers, are obliquely carried and inferted into the third 
jointing of every finger. Abdudfores interoffei externi and interni, the drawers fromthe 
thumb; they arife from the upper parts of the bones of the metacarpium near the 
wrift, and in the firft internodum or fpace between the joints, with a very {mall ten- 
don, which, joining with the vermiculares, run along the fides of the fingers, over 
the three bones, till they come to the roots of the nails; inthe former and upper part 
whereof, the tendons, being firft united, are terminated. Abduéfor indicis, it arifes 
from the firft interjointing of the thumb, and is inferted into the bones of the fore- 
finger, by which it is drawn from the reft of the fingers towards the thumb. 
The thighs are capable of being bent, extended, drawn to or. wheeled inward, — 
or turned about outwards ; for the performance of which, they have the fol- 
“lowing fixteen mufcles. 1. Pfoas primus lumbarus, the firft loin-mufcle; it arifes 
from the vertebrze of the loins, and is inferted into the forepart of the {mall trochan- 
ter, with a round and ftrong tendon. 2. Pjoas minor, it is fometimes fpread over, 
fometimes under, the former; its beginning is fefhy, fometimes one, two, or three, 
fingers broad in its middle; its original, with a {mall and flat tendon, being carried 
over or under the pfoas, comes to the iliac, and with a very broad and ftrong tendon 
is inferted into the upper brim of the os ilii. 3. Ilacus mufculus, rifes out of ‘the 
internal cavity of the os ilium, is joined by its tendon with the lumbal mufcle, and 
is terminated between the great and little trochanter. Mu/cwlus peftineus, the comb 
mutcle, {prings out of the upper part of the os pubis, and is inferted with a fhort ten- 
don into the inner fide of the thigh. 5. Triceps primus, arifes from the upper joining 
of the os pubis, and, paffing by the inner head of the thigh-bone, is inferted into the 
middle of the thigh. 6. Triceps fecundus, arifes from the loweft jointing of the os pu 
bis, and, pafling by the inner head of the thigh, runs along to the end of the thigh. 
9. Triceps tertius, arifes from the middle of the os pubis, and is inferted jult below the 
neck of the thigh-bone. ‘Thefe three mufcles many reckon but one, and call 
triceus, from its threefold beginning ; but fo accounted it is the createft of i all the 
mufeles of the body: and often ends in one mufculous tendon, inferted into the 
hinder part of the bone. 8. Glouteus major, arifes from the coccyx or cruppet, {the 
fpine of the ilii and os facrum,) and is inferted into the os femeris, undet the great 
trochanter, 9, Glouteus medius, the middlemoft both in fituation and ae 
arifes from the inner fide of the fpine of the os ilii, and is inferted into the great t*0- 
chanter, with a broad and ftrong tendon. _ 10. Glouteus minimus interaus, Springs from 
the back of the os ilii, near the acetabulum, with a broad and ftrong tendon, and 
inferted into the great trochanter: thefe lat three make up the flefhy fubftance ¢
