also closely connected with a very strong bundle of ligamentous 

 fibres from the deep surface of the deltoid. 



0. and L., 276-7 (o, the letter indicates teres major, according 

 to the index). 



Teres major arises from a small triangular surface on the 

 internal aspect of the inferior angle of the scapula. It is in- 

 serted into the neck of the humerus along about two inches of a 

 line connecting the inner side of the head of the humerus with 

 the internal condyle. The lower fibres of the tendon are con- 

 nected with part of coraco-bracMalis. Immediately behind it is 

 a bundle of muscular fibres, forming part of the triceps. The 

 tendon of teres major is embraced by the two portions of the 

 tendon of latissimus dorsi, of which the more superficial is 

 inserted into the humerus a little above teres major, while the 

 deeper and smaller portion is inserted immediately behind it. 



C. and L. — 283, figs. 1, 2 (o). In the second figure the origin 

 would agree better with that of tei^'es minor. 



Goraco-brachialis arises thin and flat, by tendinous fibres from 

 the tip of the coracoid tubercle, and from the upper part of the 

 capsule of the shoulder-joint, It is inserted by fleshy fibres into 

 the anterior surface of the humerus, between the insertion of 

 latissimus dorsi and the internal condyle. 



0. and L.— 283, figs. 1, 2 ; 284, fig. 1 {q). 



Biceps arises within the capsule of the shoulder-joint, from 

 which it emerges as a strong round tendon; There is no trace of 

 a coracoid head. The muscle gradually increases in thickness to 

 the elbow-joint. Some of the deeper fibres are inserted into the 

 anterior part of the capsular ligament, the rest pass over the 

 joint to be inserted into the front and inner side of the ulna, 

 close to its upper extremity. A large vein separates the inser- 

 tion of the hiceps from hrachialis anticus. 



C. and L.— 283, figs. 1, 2 (r) ; 284, fig. 1 (f). The drawings 

 are correct ; but the index mentions a coracoid head which does 

 not exist. 



BracMalis anticus arises from the humerus just below the 

 articular end, and external to the greater tuberosity. The 

 muscle winds round the shaft of the bone to reach the front of 

 the external condyloid ridge, from the commencement of which 

 it receives some of its lower fibres. Inserted into the front of
