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 OF THE ATTACHMENT OP 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. 



b. By its transverse processes, to the — 



1. Spleniua. 



2. Trachelo-inastoideus. 



3. Obliquus capitis anticua. 



4. Obliquus ca])iti8 posticus. 



5. Mastoido-humeralis. 



c. By its fiody, to the — 



1. Rectus capitis anticiis minor. 



2. Rectus capitis lateralis. 



3. Longus colli. 



2. Axis. 

 The axis gives insertion to six pairs of muscles : — 



a. By its spinous process, to the — 



1. Semispinal is colli. 



2. Obliquus cajiitis anticus. 



3. Rectus capitis posticus major. 



b. By its transverse procesites, to the — 



\. Intertransversales colli. 



2. Mastoido-humeralis muscles. 



And hy the inferior face of its body, to the — 



3. Longus colli. 



8. Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Cervical Vertebr^b. 

 These vertebras give insertion to the following muscles : — 



a. By their spinous processes, to the — 



1. Semispiiialis i-olli. 



2. Longissimus doisi. 



h. By their articular tubercles, to the — 



1. Complexus. 



2. Trach(>lo-mastoideufl. 



3. Semispinal is colli. 



4. Intertransversales colli.
