ANATOMY OF VERTEBRATES.

and rib of the seventh to the third dorsal vertebra inclusive, 

 occupying the interspaces between those parts ; it is inserted 

 into the neural arch of the last cervical, and into the post- 

 zygapophysis of the next vertebra in advance. 



The series of muscles called ' longus colli,' ib. 28, 28, com- 

 mences by the broad origin from the under part of the first and 

 second costal plates, and is continued by eight narrower slips 

 from the hypapophyses of the first dorsal, and seven antecedent 

 cervical vertebras. These fasciculi incline forward and inward, 



overlapping each other, to 

 be inserted successively 

 into the parapophyses of 

 the eighth and lower part 

 of the centrum of the ante- 

 cedent cervicals, with in- 

 terposed sesamoids at the 

 sixth, fifth, and fourth ver- 

 tebra3 ; the foremost inser- 

 tion being into the basi- 

 oceipital. 



Six or seven lateral por- 

 tions of cervical myocom- 

 mas, called hitertransver- 

 xfirii colli ; ib. 36, pass from 

 the diapopliyscs of the 

 eighth to the second cervi- 

 cals, and are inserted along 

 with the corresponding in- 

 sertions of the longus colli 

 from the sixth to the cen- 

 trum of the atlas, or odon- 

 toid. The intertransversnrii 

 iibliqni, figs. 148, 149, 37, 

 are four strips from the 

 diapophyses of the sixth, 

 fifth, fourth, and third vertcbr;\3, which pass fiirward and down- 

 ward to the parapophyses of the fourth, third, second, and first 

 cervicals respectively. There arc hitcrsji/iidh's between the 

 neui-al spines of the first three cervicals.
