Show 464 MR. ST. GEORGE MIVART ON THE [June 24, Iliacus (figs. 8, 9, & 10, I). Of considerable size, this muscle arises from the internal surface of the antero-exterior margin of the pubic cartilage. It is inserted into the shaft of the femur from the proximal part of its anterior (extensor) surface down to the tibial condyle. Sartorius (figs. 8, 9, 10, & 11, S). A long slender muscle, which I did not distinguish in Menopoma, and which I propose thus to name, arises from the fascia attached to the antero-outer margin of the pelvis, into which fascia fibres of the external oblique are inserted, so that this muscle appears like a continuation downwards of that, i. e. of the external oblique. Passing downwards along the inner or tibial margin of the iliacus, it is inserted into the inner side of the upper part of the tibia just above and on the inner (or tibial) side of the insertion of the gracilis. Fig. 10. Deeper muscles of outer side of hinder part of trunk and anterior part of tad, and of the dorsal (extensor) side of right pelvic limb-the gluteus maximus, rectus femoris, and extensor longus digitorum being cut and reflected.

This muscle is very like the one so named by me in Menopoma, but it is rather more slender. It springs from the outside of the ilium, and, passing downwards, ends in an aponeurosis, which invests the knee anteriorly and passes to the upper part of the front of the tibia. The rectus femoris (figs. 9 & 10, R. F), very similar in shape |
