In Larus argentattis, of which the tendons arerepresented in the annexed cut, the anterior stronger branchof the brevis tendon gives off a forwards and downwards slipto the extensors of the fore arm, from which arises the usualconnection with the long us tendon. There is a second con-nection between the two tendons. At the origin of the.

The tensorlongus tendon also gives off a slip (A, fig. 172) to the insideof fore arm which is also present in the auks () InRliyncliops (fig. 171, A) there are two such tendons. Lestris antarctica, Sterna, and Larus marinus (accordingto FUEBEINGEES figure, PI. xix.) are much the same, but arewithout the additional slips A and B. Of these A is presentin Eissa tridactijla. The expansor sccundariorum is frequently absent, but it 353 is present in Larus argentatus, marinus, and glaucus, notinfuscus. It is absent in Sterna and Lestris ; present inAnous ; absent again in Ehynchops. Tbe biceps is peculiar in some members of this Larus, Sterna, and Anous the biceps has, as usual, thetwo heads, humeral and
