into the sternum and the ribs ; the second manifestly represents the pillars of 

 the diaphragm." 



This description, taken from the work of Sappey, an observer as con- 

 scientious as he is talented, gives a perfectly exact idea of this muscle. 



CHAPTER IV. 



GENERAL TABLE OP THE ATTACHMENT OF THE 

 MUSCLES IN SOLIPEDS. 



I. Vertebral Column. 



A. Cervical Vertebrae. 



1. Atlas. 



The atlas gives attachment to nine pairs of muscles : — 



a. By the surface representing the spinous process, to the — 



Rectus capitis posticus minor. 

 6. By its transverse processes, to the — 



1. Spleniua. 



2. Trachelo-mastoideus. 



3. Obliquus capitis anticua. 



4. Obliquus capitis posticus. 



5. Mastoido-humeralis. 

 c. By its body, to the — 



1. Rectus capitis anticus minor. 



2. Rectus capitis lateralis. 



3. LonguB colli. 



2. Axis. 



The axis gives insertion to six pairs of muscles : — 



a. By its spinous process, to the — 



1. Semispinalis colli. , 



2. Obliquus capitis anticus. 



3. Rectus capitis posticus major. 



b. By its transverse processes, to the — 



1. Intertransversales colli. 



2. Mastoido-humeralis muscles. 



A7id by the inferior face of its body, to the — 



3. Lougus colli. 



8. Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Cervical Vertebra. 

 These vertebrae give insertion to the following muscles : — 



a. By their spinous processes, to the — 



1. Semispinalis colli. 



2. Longissimus dorsi. 



b. By their articular tubercles, to the — 



1. Complexus. 



2. Trachelo-mastoideuB. 



3. Semispinalis colli. 



4. Intertransversales colli.
