    gin of scapula, but not from the cartilage. In common with part of the latissimus dorsi and part of the panniculus carnosus, it is inserted into margin of bicipital groove, while it is also overlapped by the coraco-brachialis (fig. 5, T. maj.).

The insertion is into the great tuberosity of the humerus, beneath and behind the infra-spinatus. It is in intimate union with the scapular head of the triceps. The biceps is single-headed, arising only from the scapula. It is inserted into the neck of the ulna in common with the cephalo-humeral, after passing round the inner side of the neck of the radius, where it has a strong tendon (fig. 4, B.). We thus agree with Meckel* as to its single head and insertion into the ulna. In the Guinea-pig we found it also to have but one head. The brachialis anticus arises by a single and very strong head from the back of the neck of the humerus, and turns round to the front of the bone, descending into the forearm to be inserted into the ulna (fig. 5, B. a.). In its very high origin this muscle resembles * Loc. cit. p. 286. Ill]
