MYOLOGY OF IGUANA TUBERCULATA.

Longissimus dorsi. This is small and very indistinctly separable 

 from the sacro-lumbalis. It partly arises from the posterior end of 

 the crest of the ilium ; partly it is the anterior continuation of the 

 dorsal series of caudal muscular cones, or rather to the halves of 

 those cones. Passing forwards it is inserted into, and takes fresh 

 origin from, the spines and adjacent parts of the vertebrae. 



The sacro-lumbalis, though wide, is very thin, except at its poste- 

 rior end, and it is very imperfectly separable from the last. It arises 

 from the crest of the ilium, and appears to be partly continuous with 

 the supracaudal muscular mass. It is inserted, in an indistinct 

 manner (by tendinous intervals which become more marked from 

 behind forwards), into the ribs, including the cervical ones, as it 

 passes insensibly into the cervicalis ascendens. 



Complexus major (figs. 2 & 2a, O.Ma.). This is an elongated 

 muscle arising by tendinous fibres from the spines of the first and
