(8, 9) The insertion of the two rhomhoidei is a common insertion. I have found 

 it impossible to distinguish one from the other ; the insertion extends along three 

 quarters of the base of the scapula, commencing more than an inch and a half on the 

 dorsal side of the point where the spine reaches the posterior margin. 



(10) I could find no rhomhoideiis occipitalis. 



(11) Levator aiigidi scapulce. — -This muscle is unusually well developed and consists 

 of two distinct parts, which are perfectly separate from each other at their insertion. 

 The anterior of them is inserted along a line measuring one inch and a quarter, 

 commencing exactly at the angle of the scapula. The muscle becomes suddenly wider 

 just at the insertion ; at a distance of one inch from the actual insertion it only 

 measures half an inch in diameter. This insertion is entirely of fleshy fibres. The 

 second half of the levator is inserted by an almost entirely tendinous attachment to 

 the next three quarters of an inch of the posterior border ; it is mostly covered by the 

 fhomboideus ^. 



(12) The Omohyoid is of considerable size ; its insertion nearly fills up the concavity 

 on the inferior border ; the insertion is slightly tendinous on the lower surface. 



(13) Serratus magnus. — The attachment of this muscle is precisely as in the 

 Orang. 



(14) Deltoid. — The muscle is very large. It arises from the outer half of the 

 clavicle, from a considerable portion of the scapular spine, and from the septa between 

 itself and the infraspinatus, teres minor, scapular head of triceps, and teres major ; 

 also from the posterior portion of the scapula just in front of the origin of the teres 

 major. The insertion is chiefly on to a rough triangular area upon the humerus ; it is 

 also connected with the humeral heads of the triceps, and, as already mentioned, 

 with the insertion of the pectoralis major. 



(15) Teres major. — This large and fleshy muscle arises along a line measuring two 

 inches and three quarters. Its origin is chiefly from the scapular border, commencing 

 immediately behind the insertion of the serratdts magnus and from the septum between 

 itself and the teres minor, deltoid, and suhscapularis. The line of insertion on to the 

 humerus measures one inch and three quarters ; it commences just in front of the 

 insertion of the coraco-brachialis. The insertion is largely muscular, but that this is so 

 is not obvious on account of it being concealed by a sheet of tendon covering the muscle 

 on each side ; the anterior half-inch or so of the insertion is entirely fleshy, the last 

 half-inch or so is nearly wholly tendinous. 



(16) Teres minor. — The teres minor arises partly from the lower border of the 

 scapula and also from the septa between itself and the following muscles, viz., deltoid, 

 infraspinatus, triceps, and teres major. The insertion of the muscle is partly on to 



^ It is possible that this muscle is reaUj- the rhotnboideus minor. Not haviug its origin I cannot be certain 

 about the point.
