this muscle. We will enter on an analysis of them after we 

 have given some indications relative to the following muscle : 

 Deep Flexor of the Digits {Flexor digitorum profundus) 

 (Fig. 75, 21, 22 ; Fig. 76, 12 ; Fig. 77, 11, 11). — This muscle

 of the biceps ; 3, inferior part of the brachialis anticus ; 4, internal lateral 

 ligament of the elbow ; 5, pronato teres muscle. 



almost the whole extent of the shaft of the same bone, as in 

 the cat and dog. 



The radial fasciculus represents in the domestic quadru- 

 peds the long proper flexor muscle of the thumb in man. 

 For this reason we shall describe the muscle afresh in the 

 following paragraph : 



The fleshy bundles of which we have just spoken termi- 

 nate in a tendon which afterwards divides into slips, the
