from the transverse processes of both the axis and atlas, asin Tarsius*. 
It is inserted into the exoccipital just within the mastoidal region 
of the periotic (fig. 1, R. ¢. a. min.). 
The /ongus colli arises from the fronts of the bodies of the four 
anterior dorsal vertebree, and is attached to the bodies and transverse 
processes of all the cervical vertebree, three distinct tendons going to 
the bodies of the atlas, axis, and third cervical vertebra (fig. 1, L. e.). 
Deep muscles in front of the neck. 
R.c. a. maj. Rectus ‘capitis anticus major. &.c. a. min. Rectus capitis anticus 
minor. JL.c. Longus colli. 
Muscles of the Trunk.—The two *rhomboid muscles are repre- 
sented by a single one, which is largely developed. It arises from 
the spinous processes, from the fifth cervical to the fifth dorsal in- 
clusive, and is inserted into the spinal border of the scapula from 
its anterior end to near its posterior extremity. 
The *levator anguli scapule is a very strong muscle, and arises 
from the transverse processes of all the cervical vertebrae except the 
first. It is inserted as usual. 
Meckel’ says, ‘‘ Dans les Loris il se rend seulement 4 atlas.” If 
such is the case in Loris gracilis, it is far from being so in Nyctice- 
bus. 
The levator posticus scapula of Burmeister* was absent.
