Macalister — On the Anatotyiy of the Civet and Tayra. 509 
There is no true pectoralis minor ; but there is a subclavius, very 
small from the . first rib to the inscriptive clavicle. 
Latissimus dorsi arises from 5th to the 16th trunk spines (Yiverra), 
or 3rd to the 13th (Galera). It was very large (1.49) ; the teres major, 
attached to it at its insertion, weighed 0*22. In Galera the teres is in- 
serted into the front of the latissimus dorsi tendon, a little of it going 
into the bone directly above the tendon. There is a well-marked 
dorsi-epitrochlear in the Civet, and in the Galera there are two, one 
of which arises from the brachio-lateral panniculus, not from the 
latissimus dorsi, and the other from the angle of the scapula ; this 
second part is the stronger of the two. 
Coraco-brachialis is a 0. brevis in the Civet (0-02), and has its usual 
long tendon of origin ; it passes into the upper edge of the latissimus 
dorsi, and teres major tendons, and into the bone. On the right side of 
my Civet it went wholly into the teres major. In the Galera there 
is a coraco-brachialis longus arising by a tendon from the coracoid. 
This ends in a pyriform belly, overlying the external cutaneous 
nerve. The insertion is into the lowest part of trisection of the 
humerus ; the nutritious artery pierces the bone at its insertion, and 
in this specimen sent one branch upwards and one downwards. 
The triceps longus is not very large in Galera, and the humeral 
heads are quite distinct ; there is a wide anconeus externus. In 
Yiverra the long head is large (0*95), and arises from the entire 
axillary costa of the scapula. The inner is very small from the 
internal ridge (0"07) ; the outer is larger (0*5 1). A second inner 
head arise from the pit beneath the head of the humerus, and this 
joins the long head at the elbow. A short flat anconeus externus 
arises from the flat space above the elbow joint, and is mainly 
inserted into the synovial membrane ; it underlies the outer head of 
the triceps in both, and weighs 0*05. 
Brachialis anticas is strong and fleshy (weighing 0' 17), and ex- 
ternal as usual ; its insertion is ulnar. 
The biceps arises from the extremity of the coracoid by its long 
tendon ; there is no second head, and its insertion is radial. 
Supinator radii longus is well marked (0.05), inserted into the 
lower end of the radius with a slip into the dorsal carpal ligament ; 
it is proportionably larger in Galera. The radial extensors of the 
carpus are partly separable below. The longus = 0*05 ; the brevis 0-09. 
The supinator brevis was well marked in both. Extensor digitorum 
communis = 0-05, went to all the digits, the extensor minimi 
digiti went to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th digits. The extensor carpi ulnaris 
was large O'lO, and had a flat tendon inserted as usual, with no pro- 
longed slip. 
The extensor ossis metacarpi pollicis arrives as far as the olecra- 
non process, and is inserted into a fabella at the base of the first 
metacarpal bone ; in Galera a second tendon goes to the trapezium 
(0-08), another fabella lies internal to it in the anterior annular liga- 
ment. Extensor pollicis et indicis is slender but long (0-02), arising
