Flexor Communis Diiritonim, there is a small bundle of 

 muscular fibres, not mentioned by iSIivart, which I am in- 

 clined to look upon as an anomal3\ It arises from the 

 surface of the common tendon, a short distance before its 

 division, and passes downward l)etween the tendons of the 

 index and middle digits where its insertion is lost in cou- 

 nective tissue and could not be made out by mc. 



M. Teres Minor. 



Mirait says this muscle a[)pears to bo wanting, unless V 

 represented by a portion of the Deltoid. I find it well 

 represented in a short thick nuiscle, which arises from the 

 outer surface of the scapula, just at its base and above the 

 glenoid cavity. Tliis origin is I)y muscular fibres. It is 

 inserted into the whole surface of the humerus, between 

 the insertion of the Teres Major, the ridge running down 

 from the lesser tuberosity of the humerus, and the head 

 of the humerus itself. 



M. Levator Cloacse. 

 A small, thin muscle passes from the under side of the 

 cloaca, to the transvcj'sc processes of the coccyx. It 

 arises just back of the ischium and above the origin of 

 the Ischio Coccygeus, and passes downward and joins its 

 fellow of the opposite side, just behind the base of the 

 clitoris. Its function a[)pears to be to raise the clcKica, 

 which is about an inch in diameter and runs parallel with • 

 the caudal vertebrae, and beneath them. 



M. Ischio Coccygeus Anterior. 

 Just in advance of the Ischio Coccygeus, we find a well 

 marked muscle, more or less tendinous at its insertion, and 

 muscular at its origin.
