ORDER BIMANA. 89 



thirty-two vertebrae, seven of which are denomi- 

 nated cervical, twelve dorsal, five lumbar, five 

 sacral, and three cocygical. Of his ribs seven 

 pair are attached to the sternum by cartilaginous 

 elongations, and are called true ribs ; the other five 

 pair are called false ribs. There are eight bones in 

 his cranium : the occipital basis, two temporal, two 

 parietal, one frontal, the ethmoid and the sphenoid. 

 The bones of his face are fourteen in number ; two 

 maxillary and two jugal, each of which is attached 

 to a maxillary bone by a sort of handle called the 

 zygomatic arch, two nasal bones, two palatal, 

 a vomer between the nostrils, two inferior turbi- 

 nated bones within the nostrils, two lachrymal at 

 the internal sides of the orbits, and the single bone 

 of the lower jaw. Each jaw has sixteen teeth; four 

 incisors in the middle, two pointed canine teeth at 

 the corners, and ten molar with tuberculous crowns, 

 five on each side, making in all thirty-two. 



The shoulder blade at the end of the spine has a 

 tuberosity called acromion, to which the clavicle 

 is attached, and just above its articulation a point 

 denominated the coracoid, for the attachment of 

 certain muscles. The radius turns completely on 

 the cubitus, in consequence of the manner in which 

 it is articulated with the humerus. The carpus 

 has eight bones, four in each range : the tarsus has 

 seven. The remaining bones of the hands and feet 

 respond with the number of toes and fingers.
