Bischoff was only able to identify a wide zygomatic muscle in the
orang with the small zygomatic in man. In the orang, the gibbon, and
the baboon, as well as in _Innus sinicus_ and _Ateles_, I myself was
quite able to trace a division into a large and small zygomatic. In the
gorilla dissected by me the levator labii superioris alæque nasi was
very wide (Fig. 50, ~6~). In the case of a gorilla, Ehlers dissected
the small zygomatic muscle, together with the levator labii superioris
alæque nasi, in the manner introduced by Henle as a single square
muscle of the upper lip (_Musculus quadratus labii superioris_). In the
gorilla I observed a levator alæque nasi, together with the already
mentioned levator labii superioris; but I failed to find any separate
levator labii superioris. The very wide cartilage of the nose is
occupied by a considerable amount of muscular tissue. All these muscles
are present in the orang, but they are of small size and separated
into detached bundles. The pyramidalis nasi may be traced in every
instance, especially in the gorilla (Fig. 50, ~4~) and in the orang. It
is not so strongly developed in the chimpanzee and gibbon, but is not
absent in these apes, nor in those which are not anthropoid, such as
the baboon, and ateles, or climbing ape.
