We wouki naturally expect this to be the case, asIcterus and the Eaven are members of nearly Fig. 35 quin.—yiew, from the outer side, of the muscles of the patagiiim ofthe left wirig of a passerine bird. Troiipial {Jderus vulgaris). (AfterGarrod.) Among some other passerine birds, however, thetendons of the tw^o muscles just mentioned do notblend with each other in the manner we have described,but remain quite distinct as far as the carpus. Thisis the case in our Purple Martin (Progne subis), as Ihave shown in Fig. 35 sex. 114 THE MYOLOGY OF THE RAVEN. Some of the most com^^licated and interesting con-ditions assumed by these muscles are to be seen amongsuch groups of sea-fowl as the Tuhincires, and Forbespresented us with drawings and descriptions of manyof these in his contributions to the Proceedings of theZoological Society of London. Now in the Raven we find a still different con-
