CHAPTER III 



THE MUSCLES 



THE description of the muscles here given is 

 taken from Bronn (ii), who, in tum^ 

 largely follows Gadow. The animal de- 

 scribed is the crocodile, but while Bronn does not 

 indicate the species, it is probable that the differ- 

 ences between the various members of the Croco- 

 dilia would be slight. The figures of the muscular 

 system are mainly from the Florida alligator. 



In his description Bronn gives for each muscle 

 the various synonyms (often more than half a 

 dozen) that are employed by different writers; in 

 this work Bronn 's nomenclature is given first and 

 the synonyms follow in parentheses. 



The Chewing Muscles 



Te7nporalo-maxillaris (Temporalis) (Masseter, 



Temporal, Aeussere ober Heber or Schlaf muskel) . 



Arises in the temporal fossa, passes under the 



zygoma, and inserts itself on the inner and outer 



sides of the lower jaw.
