These diminish rapidly in size, and run as a clearly marked band of muscles below the lateral muscles proper, to the caudal end (M. lateralis imus [me], Fritsch). The lateral aspect further shows this strip to be distinctly curved towards the horizontal behind the ligamenta inter muscularia, so that the short bundles of primitive muscle-fibres stretched between them are presented as low, narrow compartmen
