Action,—An extensor of the fore-arm, 5. Small Extensor of the Fore-arm or Anconeus* (Fig. 85,10.) Synonym.—Humero-olecranius minor— Girard. Form — Structure —- Situation—Belations,— This is a small, thick, and prismatic muscle, almost entirely fleshy, situated behind the elbow articulation. It is applied against the synovial cul-de-sac which ascends into the olecranian fossa, and to which it is strongly attached; it is hidden by the short extensor, from which it is not easily distinguished. Attachments.—It originates from the margin of the olecranian fossa, chiefly above and out- wards. It terminates by being inserted into the anterior and external part of the olecranon. Action,—This little muscle, a congener of the preceding, raises the articular capsule it covers, and prevents its being pinched between the bony surfaces. DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERS OF THE MUSCLES OF THE ARM IN OTHER THAN SOLIPED ANIMALS. In all animals, the long flexor of the fore-army or coraco-radialis, is less thick and tendinous than in Soli- peds. In the Pig, l/og, and Cat, it comports itself in a special manner at its inferior extremity; it is attached at first to the bicipital tuberosity, and also furnishes a small tendinous branch which glides over the inner side of the radius by means of a synovial bursa, and is fixed within the ulna, towards the base of the olecranon. The short flexor of the fore-arm, or anterior brachial, is terminated, in the Pig, Dog, and Cat, by a small tendon which is fixed in the ulna, below the ulnar branch of the coraco-radialis. The hng extensor of the fore-arm, which is found in all the domesticated animals, arises from the external face of the great dorsal in the Pig and Dog. The middle extensor of the fore-arm and anconeus of these animals are remarkable for their v
