CHAPTER III 
THE MUSCLES 
HE description of the muscles here given is 
taken from Bronn (11), who, in turn, 
largely follows Gadow. The animal de- 
scribed is the crocodile, but while Bronn does not 
indicate the species, it is probable that the differ- 
ences between the various members of the Croco- 
dilia would be slight. The figures of the muscular 
system are mainly from the Florida alligator. 
In his description Bronn gives for each muscle 
the various synonyms (often more than half a 
dozen) that are employed by different writers; in 
this work Bronn’s nomenclature is given first and 
the synonyms follow in parentheses. 
THE CHEWING MUSCLES 
Temporalo-maxillaris (Temporalis) (Masseter, 
Temporal, Aeussere ober Heber or Schlafmuskel). 
Arises in the temporal fossa, passes under the 
zygoma, and inserts itself on the inner and outer 
sides of the lower jaw.
