1882.] PROF. ST.-GEORGE MIVART ON THE ZLUROIDEA. 493 
The rhomboideus arises (as in the Civet) from the 3rd cervical to 
the 4th dorsal vertebra ; in Orocuta from the 5th cervical to the 4th 
dorsal. There is no rhomboideus capitis, thus differing from the 
Cat and agreeing with Crocuta, though, according to Meckel, there 
is one in Hyena striata. 
The serratus magnus arises in the Cat from the first ten ribs, in 
the Genet from the first nine, in Crocuta from the first eight, and 
in the Civet from the first seven or eight. 
The levator anguli scapule arises in the Cat from the last five 
cervical vertebre, in the Genet and Civet from the last four’, in 
Crocuta from the last five cervical and first dorsal vertebree. It is 
enormously thick in the Hyzenas. 
The levator clavicule is as in the Cat; also in Crocuta?. 
The latissimus dorsi I found to arise as in the Cat ; while in the 
Civet it extends from the 5th dorsal to the 3rd lumbar vertebra. 
In the Hyeenas it arises from the posterior eleven dorsal spines and 
the lumbar aponeurosis. 
There is but one dorso-epitrochlear, which corresponds to my 
internal dorso-epitrochlear of the Cat. There is but one in the Civet 
and Hyeenas. 
The deltoid, infraspinatus, and teres minor are as in the Cat. 
The subscapularis and infraspinatus are as in the Cat. The 
supraspinatus only differs from that of the Cat in that, as in the 
Civet, it is obscurely separable into two portions, and in that it pro- 
jects less beyond the margin of the bone of the scapula. 
The ¢eres major in the Genet, Civet, and Hyzenas is inserted into 
the tendon of the latissimus dorsi, rather than into the humerus in 
common with it as in the Cat. 
The ¢riceps of the Genet is substantially like that of the Cat, ex- 
cept that its fifth head of origin extends higher up the humerus. 
In Crocuta and Viverra civetta there are but four heads. 
The anconeus is like that of the Cat, except that it is not larger 
than is the fifth head of the triceps. There isa short flat anconeus 
in Crocuta. 
The éiceps in the Genet (as in the Civet, the Cat, and the 
Hyzenas) arises by a single head from the margin of the glenoid 
surface, and is inserted into the tubercle of the radius. 
The coracobrachialis is as in the Cat, save that it (as also in the 
Civet) partly unites with the tendon of the latissimus dorsi and ad- 
jacent part of the triceps. It is also single in the Hyzenas. 
The brachialis anticus is as in the Cat, Civet, and Hyzenas. 
The supinator longus arises much lower down the humerus than 
in the Cat. It is inserted into the radius, but sends (as also in the 
Civet) a slip to the dorsal carpal ligament. It is absent in the 
Hyenas, or only represented by a tendinous vestige®. In Hemi- 
ica Young says from the last six (Journ. of Anat. & Phys. vol. xiv. 
p. . 
* Also in the Ichneumon, where it is said by Meckel (Anat. Comp, vol. vi. 
p. 238) to perforate the trapezius.
