they separated ; tlie parvus, being inserted by a very broad tendon into 

 the magnus, joined -with the iliacus, to be inserted into the leaser tro- 

 chanter of the femur. 



Pectincus ('35), inserted into femur above and anterior to lesser 

 trochanter. The adductores primus, secundus, a and /5, and tertius 

 (17"o), were inseparably connected. 



The quadratus femoris ("55), large and strong, arose [from the ex- 

 ternal surface of the tuber ischii, and was inserted below the posterior 

 extremity of the oblique line on the great trochanter. Obcluratores 

 externus (1*60) and internus ("83) were well marked and normal, the 

 gemelli being closely connected with the latter. The tendon of the- 

 internus exhibited a beautiful arrangement ; there were five primary 

 tendons, each of which split into two, and some of these again subdi- 

 vided. 



The agitator caudse (2-40) arose broad and fleshy from the upper 

 part of the ilium immediately behind the acetabulum, and ^rom the 

 two anterior caudal vertebrpe, lying alongside of and slightly over- 

 lapping vastus externus. Aiter about eight inches it ended in a long 

 and fine tendon, which passed beneath the vastus externus tendon, to 

 be inserted, together with the rectus, into the anterior margin .^ of 

 patella. 



Gluteus maximus (1'5), very small, was easily separable from the 

 tensor vaginae femoris ; quadrilateral in shape. It arose from the pos- 

 terior border of the ilium, and was inserted tendinous into the outer 

 part of femur, below the great trochanter. 



The medius (5-72) and minimus (-50), quite separate, were normal. 

 The quartus ('40), really an easily separable anterior portion of the 

 minimus. 



Quintus (•12) was also present, and symmetrical; it arose imme- 

 diately in front of the acetabulum, and running downwards and back- 

 wards was inserted into the commencement of the oblique line on the 

 great trochanter. 



Pyriformis ("65), normal. ^ 



The tensor vaginae femoris (3'90) (gluteus minimus of Cuvier) arose 

 fi'om the anterior fourth of the crest of the ilium, and was inserted by 

 means of the ilio-tibial ligament, which was very strongly marked, into 

 the outer and back pai-t of the tibia. 



Thebicepsfemoris(10'03), thelong head arising from the tuberischii, 

 was spread out in a thin layer over the greater portion of the outer 

 surface of the thigh, partly overlapping the adductors. The femoral 

 head arose from the junction of upper and middle thirds of posterior 

 surface of femur ; it soon joined with the long head, to be inserted into 

 the head of the fibula. 



Bicipiti accessorius, absent. 



Semimembranosus (13"30) and semitendinosus (4'70) arose by a 

 common tendon from tuber ischii. Insertion as usual. 



The gracilis (o-OO). Yery broad thin layer spread over the pos- 

 terior fold of the thigh, arising from gi-eater part of symphysis pubis, 

 and inserted by a very weak narrow tendon into upper part of tibia.
