    OTSCLES—TENSOES OF THE CEEVICAL FASCIA, la a Female Subject, aged 61, a muscle has an aponeurotic- origin from tbe inner third of the superior curved line of the oc- tjipital bone, above tbe origin of tbe trapezius, and is inserted into tbe fascia corvicalis, covering tbe slerno cleido mast.oicL Tbe point of insertion is above tbe junction of tbe middle, Tvitb tbe Tapper third of tbe eterno mastoid. Tbe muscle is subcutaneous and lies over the trapezius, the stemo mastoid, and tbe posterior triangle of tbe neck. This mascfe is probably a variety of_ tbe trinsversus nucbse^ In a female, aged 75, on the left side of tbe neck is situ^ ated a variety of tbe supraclavicularis proprius. It is attached to tbe outer third of tbe clavicle for tbe extent of one inch below and BEHIND tbe trapezius, aijd behind tbe conoid tuberele. Tbe origin is by tendinous fibres. Tbe muscle is rounded at tbe middle of its course, which is situated two inches above tbe clav- icle, and is attached to tbe upper snrface of that bone at tbe in- ner end. Its inner attachment measures three q^uarters of an inch, is tendinous, and its insertion tendon extends inwards be- tween tbe sternp mastoid and sterno occipital parts of tbe quad- riceps. In its course from without inwards, tbe muscle forms an arch, and an elliptical space, between it and tbe clavicle, is the result. Through this space tbe descending branches of tbe cer- vical plexus pass, the outer turning round tbe muscle and bond.
