MUSCLES OF THE ADDUCTOR OR TEMPORAL GROUP 

 (INNERVATED BY V 3 ) 



Capiti-mandibularis superficialis (C. m. s.). — This is the outer or mas- 

 seteric slip of the temporal mass, which covers over the other temporal 

 muscles. It has a double head; the anterior arising on the large, outer 

 face of the squamosal, while the posterior head arises on the ventral part 

 of the same face. It is inserted on the outer face of the mandible on the 

 posterior half. 



Capiti-mandibularis profundus (C. m. p.). — This posterior part of the 

 temporal mass arises, from the fourth cervical vertebra, extends around 

 over the groove on the skull, and, becoming tendinous, joins with the 

 anterior part of the muscle called pterygoideus anterior in this paper. 

 It is inserted on the coronoid region and in the fossa. 



Pterygoideus posterior (Pt. p.). — This is a large muscle in Amphiuma, 

 arising on the pterygoid under the capiti-mandibularis superficialis. It 

 is inserted on the coronoid process, posterior to the insertion of the other 

 temporal muscles. 



Pterygoideus anterior (Pt. a.). — This is the anterior part of the muscle 

 usually called the temporal. It arises along the groove on the fronto- 

 parietal and from the orbito-sphenoid. It extends downward, rapidly 

 converging, joins with the capiti-mandibularis profundus, and is inserted 

 in the coronoid region of the mandible.
