In a male subject dissected in Michaelmas Term 1913 a rare form of misplacement of the insertion of the latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles was found. The terminal ends of these muscles, united and not separated by the usually existing bursa, passed upwards and, becoming attached in passing to the long head of the triceps, were finally inserted into the capsule of the shoulder below the coracoid process above the subscapularis insertion. ‘The capsule was closed and did not show the usual perforation under the subscapular tendon (fig. 1). This anomalous insertion differed from any of the usual forms of the arcus muscularis axillaris in that it lay behind the axillary artery. The anomaly was present on both sides. The same arm had a separate accessory extensor longus pollicis whose tendon lay in the same compartment of the dorsal carpal ligament as the extensor digitorum communis, beside but separate both in belly and tendon from the extensor indicis. The first lumbrical was dicephalic, having an additional origin from the tendon of the extensor sublimis digitorum. On the ulnar side of the flexor profundus tendons for the middle and ring fingers there were separate lumbrical slips attached to the medial sides of the third phalanges, and the normally arising lumbrical for the little finger was inserted into the medial side of the ring finger. | |||

Some Rare Muscular Anomalies
By Margaret O. Meek, Girton College.
In a male subject dissected in Michaelmas Term 1913 a rare form of misplacement of the insertion of the latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles was found. The terminal ends of these muscles, united and not separated by the usually existing bursa, passed upwards and, becoming attached in passing to the long head of the triceps, were finally inserted into the capsule of the shoulder below the coracoid process above the subscapularis insertion. ‘The capsule was closed and did not show the usual perforation under the subscapular tendon (fig. 1). This anomalous insertion differed from any of the usual forms of the arcus muscularis axillaris in that it lay behind the axillary artery. The anomaly was present on both sides. The same arm had a separate accessory extensor longus pollicis whose tendon lay in the same compartment of the dorsal carpal ligament as the extensor digitorum communis, beside but separate both in belly and tendon from the extensor indicis. The first lumbrical was dicephalic, having an additional origin from the tendon of the extensor sublimis digitorum. On the ulnar side of the flexor profundus tendons for the middle and ring fingers there were separate lumbrical slips attached to the medial sides of the third phalanges, and the normally arising lumbrical for the little finger was inserted into the medial side of the ring finger.
