Fectoralis minor. — Cuvier and Laurillard figure (292-3, j^) a 

 small muscle arising beneath the anterior portion of pedoralis 

 major, and widening considerably towards its insertion into the 

 upper end of the humerus. This is apparently the pedoralis 

 minor of their index. We have not found this muscle.^ 



Serratus magnus arises by digitations from the 7th, 8th, 9th, 

 and 10th ribs, and from the fascia above them. It is inserted 

 into the inner surface of the apex of the scapula. 



C. and L., 276-7 {g), 282, upper figure {g). Eepresented as 

 arising from five posterior cervical vertebrae, as well as from 

 ribs, 283, figs. 1, 2 {g). 



Masto-humeralis arises by two distinct heads, the larger of 

 which is attached by a strong rounded tendon to the basilar 

 process of the occipital bone. The second and thinner head 

 arises by a flat tendon from the mastoid process between the 

 stylo-mastoid foramen and the origin of digastricus. It is inserted 

 into the top and outer side of the tuberosity of the humerus, blend- 

 ing with the anterior part of the deltoid. 



C. and L. — 274-5 (U), " cleido-mastoidien ou trach^lien ;" 

 276-7 (&^) ; 287-8 (5^) (incorrectly shown as inserted mto the first 

 rib) ; 290-1 (&i), 292-3 {¥). 



The plates indicate an insertion much lower down upon the 

 humerus than that given above. We cannot reconcile the rela- 

 tions of y^ to h {masto-humeralis to deltoid) in the different plates. 



Deltoideus is comparatively thin. It arises from the under 

 surface of a strong fascia, which is attached to the spine of the 

 scapula, and stretches over the shoulder-joint. Part of the 

 muscular fibres pass back to the angle formed by the spine and 

 the unciform process. The remaining fibres arise from the fascia, 

 along a line which extends from the tip of the unciform process 

 to the posterior border of the scapula. The fascia is continued 

 upwards and backwards over the infraspinatus to the borders of 

 the fossa. The deltoid passes downwards, winding over the

 plete, and certain details cannot now be recovered. The parts were cut through, 

 when little beyond a, post-mortem examination was thought possible.
