246 THE ARTISTIC ANATOMY OF ANIMALS 



interscutellar portion of the external temporo-auricular, has 

 its origin on the median line of the neck ; thence it passes 

 towards the pinna of the ear, blending its fibres with those 

 of the interscutellar muscle, and is inserted into the scuti- 

 form cartilage and the internal surface of the pinna. 



Such are the principal muscles of the ear in the carnivora ; 

 it would seem to us superfluous to dwell on the others of this 

 region, so that we will here conclude the study of the 

 muscles in general, and that of the myology of the head in 

 particular.
