The two ^^onators form onlyone muscle. The fiexor digitorum suhliinis and jjrofundus arise by a single headfrom the flexor condyle of the humerus. The two muscles immediately divide; theupper part (:=sublimis) ends in two tendons, of which one is inserted on to (the) OF THE PAL/EOGNATH^ AND NEOGNATH^. 241 eat. fig.
