The modifications under-gone by the various myotomes throughout the course oftheir loops resemble those already described as occurring inthe trunk myotomes. Thus, each of the muscles repre-sented in Fig. 118, B, is formed by the fusion of elementsderived from two or more myotomes; the soleus and gas-trocnemius represent deep and superficial layers formedfrom the same myotomes by a horizontal (tangential) split-ting, these same muscles contain a portion of the second
