 supports and strengtliens tlie capsule below. The capsule also receives an upward 

 sliji from the pertoraU.-< vuijor. The supra-spinatus often sends a slip into the cap- 

 sule from its upper edge (fig. 224).

The coraco-humeral ligament (fig. 226) is a strong broad band, which is 

 attached al)()ve to the outer edge of the root and horizontal limb of the coracoid 

 process nearly as far as the tip. From this origin it is directed backwards along the 

 line of the biceps tendon to blend with the capsule, and is inserted into the greater

tuberosity of the humerus. Seen from the back, it looks like an uninterrupted 

 continuation of the cajjsule, while from the front it looks like a fan-shaped pro- 

 longation from it overlying the rest of the ligament. At its origin there is some- 

 times a bursa between it and the capsule.
