The skin or other covering is then to be taken between the fingers and thumb, and drawn from the surface of the muscle, so as to stretch the cellular membrane which connects them, and the edge of the knife is to be carried through this reticular texture, in the course of the fibres, from one end of the muscle to the other; and this is to be repeated with each bundle of fibres, and, if possible, from right to left, until the boundaries of the muscle are displayed. The muscles are introduced in the order in which it will be found most convenient to dissect them. « 2
