condyle, and that its lower part is represented by a fibrous band from 

 which fibres of the pronator radii teres take origin. It seemed to me, 

 however, that the insertion of this muscle passed directly into the fibres 

 of origin of the palmaris longus as the dissection will show. Thus the 

 palmaris longus and dorso-epitrochlearis may have originally belonged 

 to one and the same muscular sheet. 



Rhomboideus major and minor. 



These muscles formed a thick undivided mass with insertion 

 extending from the inferior angle of scapula to 1 inch below the

posterior scapular angle. According to Macalister the undifferen- 

 tiated condition of the rhomboids may sometimes occur in man. 



Levator anguli scapulte. 



This muscle was made up of four individual fasciculi. The upper 

 two join near their insertion and so do the lower two, and the second 

 and third fasciculi are also connected by a fibrous band. The upper 

 slip also joins the cleido-occipitalis muscle above. It has the usual 

 insertion into the scapula.
