THE THORAX AND RESPIRATION. ^33 



This drawing has been taken from an artificial skeleton, which 

 is seldom articulated correctly. The ribs do not lie here in a na- 

 tural position , or, if ever they were placed so in the living body, 

 it eould only be in violent inspiration, when they are raised to the 

 very utmost. — [This figure is referred to at p. 118 of Vol. I., but 

 the Number of the Appendix is called VII. instead of VI.]
