This is a long complex mufcle, narrow and thin at the upper part, broad and thick at the lower. It is clofely ac- companied by the longillimus dorfi, which lies between it and the fpinal proeeffes of the vertebrae, a narrow, fatty, or cellular line, running between them. It is In serted, by a broad thin tendinous apone,urofis, into (lie fuperior (pines of the os facrum, and lateral parts of that bone, into the external labium and crilla of the ilium. The aponeurofis adheres to the longifiimus. dorfi, and is a little covered by Come infertions of the glutams maximus : from this it runs upwards, and a little laterally, fending olf from its infide flelhy fibres, which are divided from below upwards, and are Inserted into the tranfverfe procetfes of the loins. It runs up obliquely over all the ribs, fending off digila- tions,. which are Inserted into the luberofity of the firtl rib, and into the angular impreffion of the ten following ribs, running from below upwards. In feparating and drawing the body of this mufcle from the longillimus dorfi, we meet with (everal long thin mufcular fafciculi, which run from below upward over the ribs, into which they are Inserted, and are called Mujculus Accejfwms Sacro Lumbaris. From the upper part, about the fourth fuperior dorfal vertebra, is lent off flelhy flips, which are Inserted tendinous, into theTeeond, third, and fourth tranfverfe proeeffes of the vertebrae of the neck, and is called Cervicalis Defcendens. In going to this infertion it receives a flefliy Hi]) from the longiffunus dorfi. Use. To pull the ribs down, and afffi to erebl the trunk of the body. The cervicalis defcendens turns the neck obliquely backwards and to one fide. Plate IIT. Tranfverfalis Tranfverfo Fig. 21. Colli. Spinal. Tranfverfalis Cervicis.

Inserted, tendinous and flelhy, into the tranfverle proeeffes of the five fuperior vertebrae of the back, runs be- tween the trachclo maftoideus and fplenius colli and cervicalis delcendens, and is Inserted into the tranfverfe procefs of the cervical vertebra;. Use. To turn the neck obliquely backward, and a little to one fide. Scalenus Poficus. Scalenus Traclitlo Scalenus Third Secundus or Cofal. Poficus. Scalenus.* Secunda Cofee. Third Scalenus. Inserted into the fifth and fixth tranfverfe proeeffes of the cervical vertebrae. Inserted into the upper edge of the fecond rib, near the fpine. Use. To bend the neck (o one fide, and when the neck is fixed, to elevate the fecond rib. (See Scalenus An- ticus & Medius, No. 74 and 75.) S9 Plate III.

To extend the neck obliquely. Sfinalis Douglas delcribes one of the levatores coftarum as a fourth fealenus.
