WINDLE ON THE [Feb. 1, Length of web of hand, deepest *8 „ claw of hand, longest '7 foot 7"8 „ web of foot (deepest at its narrowest part) .. 1*5 „ claw of foot, longest 10 The colour of the back is black with an admixture of golden-coloured hairs ; the abdomen is covered with hairs of a dark golden colour, a narrow strip of flaxen hairs running longitudinally down the body from the lower part of the neck, ceasing at the lower third of the abdomen. Tbe tail is black, save for its last fifth, which is flaxen-coloured. The hands (vide fig. 3) are armed with moderately strong claws, and the digital interspaces are webbed to a small extent. The feet (vide fig. 4) are armed with much stronger claws, and have considerably deeper webs in the interspaces. The soles of the feet are black, the palms of the hands of a lighter colour, and the dorsal surfaces of both are clothed with short golden hairs. The scrotum is large and covered with hair; it contains the testicles, which are easily to he returned to the abdomen. Muscular System. Panniculus.-The dorsal portion extends over the entire back as a thin sheet. It is especially strong and well-marked (1) over the head, especially the vertex, from which it passes into the cheeks and becomes connected with the roots of the large cheek-hairs; (2) in the scapular region and over the latissimus dorsi, with which it has some connections ; and (3) over the back of the thighs, where it is associated in some degree with the hamstring muscles. The ventral part is attached to the inner aspect of the deltoid ridge under the deep portion of the pectoralis, and extends downwards from this attachment over the thorax and abdomen. Muscles of the Head and Neck.-By the side of that portion of the panniculus which passes to the cheek there lies a slender muscle which, taking origin from the bone in front of the orbit, ends in a tendon which is inserted into the side of the cartilage of the nose (levator alse nasi). There is a large elevator of tbe upper lip, separated from the panniculus by the numerous and large branches of the infraorbital nerve, and prolonged into the mucous membrane of the roof of the mouth as far as the middle line. In front of this is a dilatator naris. A small buccinator is present. Levator labii inferioris arises from the upper surface of the inferior maxilla just posterior to the incisors and descends, expanding considerably, to tbe skin below the jaw. Masseter consists of three parts :-(1) arises by tendon from a prominent tubercle placed at the front of the lowest portion of the process of bone extending downwards from the zygoma to the superior maxilla and its alveolar portion. The muscular fibres connected with this expand and are attached to the edge and internal surface of the angle of the jaw. (2) arises from the lower margin of tbe zygoma, and is inserted into the lower jaw from its angle to about the position of the roots of the incisors. (3) arises partly from |
