Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contributions to the Comparative Myology of the Chimpanzee
Levator claviculae (tyson), Trachelo-clavicular, or Tra chelo-acromialis. This muscle is not found in man, but appears to exist under some form in most of the lower ani mals. In this specimen it was quite strong, but I did not see its origin, which is-generally from the transverse pro cesses of some of the upper cervical vertebrae.
Serratus magnus. Composed of two ?eshy parts, with an intervening thin portion. The superior part seemed to arise from the first and third ribs, thence becoming wider, to be inserted into about an inch of the upper angle and posterior border of the scapula. The inferior portion is much larger, arising from the eight ribs below the third, thence narrowing to its insertion into the lower angle and part of the posterior border of the scapula, without any tendon. I did not see that the intervening thin portion was anything more than a thin membrane.
