Two further points may be referred to. First, neither A nor B 

 has been found in any but the Ungulate Order ; second, in 9 of 

 the 25 Ungulates noted, A and B co-existed.

 traction of the underlying muscles. These are seen to have a 

 striking opportunity of influencing the structures lying over 

 them, in each of the three regions alluded to, by a reference to 

 the diagrams.
