MUSCLES OF THE TAIL

These present the same general arrangement as in the horse. The

=sacro-coccygei=, however, arise on the lumbar vertebræ also, and the

=coccygeus= on the ischiatic spine. There is found a =sacro-coccygeus

accessorius=, which arises on the internal border of the ilium, the edge

of the sacrum, and the transverse processes of the first coccygeal

vertebræ, and is inserted between the superior and lateral

sacro-coccygei. It is homologous with the intertransversales.
