 Sex, Female. 



Presence of rectus sternalis muscle. 



This muscle is placed at the lateral border of the sternum, super- 

 ficial to the pectoralis major, underneath the skin and fascia. The 

 muscle is a small band of fibres about 6 inches long, and half an inch 

 broad at its origin, narrowing to about ^ inch at its insertion. It 

 is fleshy for nearly its whole length. 



The muscle is a continuation upwards of the rectus abdominis, 

 and is inserted into the tendon of the sterno-mastoid, a little above 

 the sternal origin of that muscle.
