=Scapula= (Figs. 44 and 45).--The scapula may be described as a flat
triangular bone with one angle rounded. It lies beneath the muscles on
the lateral face of the thorax near its cranial end. From its lateral
surface there projects a flat ridge (Fig. 44, _g_), the =spine= of the
scapula. The ventral end of the ridge is free as a curved process, the
=acromion= process (Fig. 44, _j_).
