The Anatomy of a T Y G M 1 E. 



The Mufcles employed in Bending and Extending the C«^7/^,differ'd \tTY 

 little from the f/»«/<?»e, viz. Biceps, (Fig. 9.1 6.16.) Brachi^usmtemus^ 

 (ib. 18. ) Gemellus, (Fig. 4. 14.) Brachiaus externus. Anconeus, (Fig. 

 4. 1 5. 15.) The like is obferved of thefe Mufcles by Sylvius in J/7ej,who 

 only adds that the Extenders are remarkably large in that Animal. The 

 Biceps in the Pygmie, had the fame double tendinous Termination, as in 

 Man. 



The Caro Mufculofa ^adrata appear'd in the Palm of the Tygmie : 

 nor was there any flefhy Belly, and long Tendon to the Palmark 5 yet 

 there was a Tendon or Ligament extended in the Palm 5 the like has been 

 often taken notice of in Men, as Realdus Columbus alfo obferves. The 

 Parijians tell US, the Palmam in Monkeys is extraordinary large. 



The Mw/c/ej- of the four Fingers wert, the Per for at us, (Fig. g, 24.) 

 Perforans, (Fig- 5. 25.) Lumbricales -^ (ib. 51.) thefe agreed exadily 

 with the Humane ; but the Extenfor Digitorum Communis ( Fig 4. 21.) 

 was larger and diftind from the Extenfor minimi Digiti, as in Men and 

 ^pej-,which Drelincourt obferves. The Extenfor Indicis, Ahduifor Indicis, 

 (P'lg.i^.^O. ^Extenfor minimi digiti,(¥\g./\..20.')Ahdu&or minimi digitis(J\g. 

 4. 25. ) and Interojjlj Manus , difter'd not from thofe in Men. All 

 the Mufcles of the Thumb refembled thofe in Men, (viz,.) the Flexor ter- 

 tij inter nodij foUicis, Abdu&or ToUicis, (Fig. 3. 28.) Flexor primi ^ fe- 

 cundi ojjis pol/icis, ( ib. 29.) Addu^or ?ollicis, ( Fig. 4.27, ) Extenfor 

 primi internodij Pol/icis, ( ib. 23. ) Extenfor fecundi oJJis PoUicis, and Ex- 

 tenfor tertij ojfis poUicis. The Mufcles of the Wri^i alio agreed with thofe 

 in Men 5 viz,, the Flexor Carpi Radialis, ( Fig. 3. xg. ) and IJlnaris, 

 (ib. 26. ) the Extenfor Carpi Radialis, ( ib. 19. ) and Vlnaris -^ (ib.20.) 

 The two laft Drelincourt fays, are alfo like the Humane in the Male- Ape. 



The Mufcles employ'd in the Pronation and Supination of the Radius in 

 the Pygmie, were larger in proportion than thofe in Men. The Pronator 

 Radij teres (Fig. 3. 20.) had a double Origin ; the one from the internal 

 Protuberance of the Os Humeri, the other from the upper part of the 

 Z)lna : the Pronator Radij ^ladratus. The Supinator Radij Longus is 

 taken notice of by Drelincourt in Apes to be like that of Men. The Su- 

 pinator Radij brevis, (Fig. 4. 24.) agreed exactly with the Humane. 



The Mufcles of no partdifagreed fo much from thofe in Men, as thofe 

 of the Thigh of this Animal : Here was no Gluteus minor x, nor did the 

 Gluteus maximuf ( Fig. 4. 35. 33.) xtiemhXe tht Humane : It was meer- 

 ly Tendinous at it's Origin, from the whole Spine of the Os Ilium 5 it 

 was much longer, and not fo thick as in Man 5 nor were it's fiefliy Fibres 

 fo divided ; This Sylvius defcribes for the Membranofus in Apes. The 

 faripans give a very im per fed account of the Mttfculi Glutcei in Monkeys, 

 where they tell us, . The Mtifcks of the Buttock^ bad a Figure differing from 



N thofe
