meatus. Inserted into the same process of the aural cartilage 

 as attrahens inferior. 



Wot in C. and L. 



Cervico-auricularis superficialis (retraJiens inferior, "Watson). — 

 Arises from the cervical fascia, near the occipital ridge. In- 

 serted into the back of the pinna, near the middle of its upper 

 border. 



C. and L.— 272-3 (II., III. ?). 



Cervico-auricularis inedius {retrahcns anterior, Watson). — 

 Arises from beneath the last-named muscle. Inserted into the 

 back of the pinna, below the insertion of occipito-auricularis. 



C. and L.— 274-5 (X.?). 



Cervico-auricularis profundus (retrahens internus, Watson). — 

 Arises from the fascia beneath the two last-named muscles. 

 Inserted into the back of the pinna, opposite the external audi- 

 tory meatus. 



C. and L.— 274-5 (XL ?). 



Occipito-auricularis (retrahens superior, Watson). — Arises from 

 the cranial aponeurosis, along the occipital ridge. Inserted 

 into the back of the pinna, beneath the insertion of cervico- 

 auricularis super ficialis. 



C. and L.— 274-5 (IX. ?). 



Attollens superior arises from the cranial aponeurosis above 

 the ear. Inserted into the back of the pinna, in advance of 

 cervico-auricularis superficialis. 



C. and L.— 272-3 (upper part of I. ?). 



Attollens inferior consists of two portions, the posterior of 

 which crosses the anterior superficially and obliquely. Arises 

 beneath attollens superior from the cranial aponeurosis, also from 

 the cervical fascia by the mediation of two slight muscular slips. 

 Inserted into the pinna, above the cartilaginous auditory 

 meatus. 



C. and L. — 272-3 (IV., V. ?). There is no close correspondence 

 between Cuvier's dissection of the muscles of the external ear 

 and our own. 



Masticatoey Muscles. 



Temporalis arises from the temporal fossa, and is inserted into 

 the inner surface of the anterior half of the ascendins ramus
