The (pncilis {text-i\g. 13) fuses with sartorins at its insertion, 

 and the coiul)ined muscles are inserted along one-tliird of the 

 length of the ventral border of the tibia. 



The adductor- longu.s (text-fig. 13) has n loi)g attachment to 

 the femur, and its distal limit is about half an inch above the 

 internal condyle. 



The adductor magmis (text-fig. 13) is a long, narrow muscle 

 whose tendon is attached to the npper end of the tibia. 



The great sciatic nerve divides at the bottom of the triangle 

 formed on the inner aspect of the thigh by the sartorius, gracilis, 

 and adductor longus. 



The anterior crural nerve divides into two main branches in 

 Scarpa's Triangle. 



The external cutaneous nerve breaks up into a number of 

 branches over the quadriceps, and communicates with the anterior 

 erui'al nerve. 



The quadriceps extensor is inserted into both condyles of the 

 femur and upper border of the patella, and the ligamentum 

 patellas is attached to the tibia over a length of two inches. At 

 the lower limit of the latter is the long strip of attachment of 

 the sartorius and gracilis. The vastus internus component is 

 extremely powerful. 



The glutei have coarse, thick fibres, but they are not voluminous 

 as in Man. The gluteus medius is much thicker than the 

 maximus. 



The levator ani is a very stong, thick muscle, but the jjyri- 

 formis is very long, thin,, and slender. It cannot be employed in 

 subdividing the structures passing from the pelvis to the thigh 

 as in Man. 



The great sciatic nerve gives ofi" a very thick cord to the ham- 

 strings after it winds beyond the femoral trochanter. These 

 muscles are inserted into the upper half of the dorso-lateral 

 boi'der of the tibia. 



The gluteus minimus and lateral rotators of the thigh form a 

 thick fan-shaped muscle, with many tendinous fibres originating 

 alon£c the entire vertical len<i:th of the ilium. 



The Alimentary Canal. 



Heshy lips are connected to the gums by well-marked frenums, 

 but no labial tubercles are present. 



The oral vcstihtde is smooth and has well -developed cheek- 

 pouches. 



The hard palate is crossed by twelve pairs of incomplete ridges 

 radiating from the mid-line, but there is no prominent median 

 raphe, and no incisive })ad ; the ridges become more curved on 

 the posterior part of the palate, and those of the last two pairs 

 are sinuous. 



The soft palate has a, well-marked uvula.
