surface of the prostate, and encircling also the seminal ducts and 

 the urethra ; it arises, however, from the " interpelvic ligament " 

 (which represeuts the " pelvic fascia "). I find that in Cogia 

 some of the fibres of this muscle originate from the inner and 

 upper faces of the crura penis. 



Another muscle, though cut through, may be mentioned. On 

 each side, and immediately below the cut edge of the pelvic 

 fascia, is a fairly stout bundle of longitadinal fibres (PL XI.

 muscle above referred to as " sphincter ani "; this pair of muscles 

 appears to be the levatores ani. •
