this muscle is attached to the skin by strands of vessels and con- 

 nective tissue. 



The vastus internus major and minor together undoubtedly 

 correspond with rectus internus or gracilis of human anatomy. 

 The rectus internus major is, however, reg'arded as corresponding 

 with the adductor magnus b}* Duges, and with the semimembra- 

 nosus by Klein ; by considering the position and attachments of 

 these muscles one must arrive at a different conclusion.

Without further dissection this 

 muscle is only partially visible be- 

 tween the ;//. sartoriu^ and vasfns 

 internus (Fig. 81 ad'). The muscle 

 is flat and long, and arises by a 

 tendon from the anterior inferior 

 angle of the pubic symphysis (Fig. 

 42 *), partially eoyered by the 

 origin of the sartorins. Thence the 

 muscle passes between the vastus 

 hit emu s and the adductor magnus^ 

 and finally is inserted below the 

 middle of the femur, together with ri 

 the latter muscle.

This muscle is visible between the 

 sartoriu-s and rectus nit emus major 

 in the anterior half of the thigh, 

 posteriorly it is covered by these 

 muscles. It arises by a tendon 

 from (a) the pubic symphysis and 

 iscJiii, and is in this position divided into two portions, between
