There is, accordingly, a connection to be established between those
displacements which are similar and the analogy of facial expression
which necessarily results from them.[33]

=Zygomaticus Minor= (Fig. 90, 4; Figs. 91, 92).--The existence of this
muscle has not been clearly demonstrated. Nevertheless, Straus-Durckheim
noted its presence in the horse, and described it as 'a muscle arising
by two heads, of which one, the superior, arises from the malar bone
below the orbit, and passes downwards and forwards over the
fibro-adipose layer which supports the moustache. The second, the
inferior, arises from the alveolar border in front of the second molar
tooth, and passes forward to be inserted into the same fibro-adipose
layer.'[34]

chat,' Paris, 1845, t. ii., p. 210.
In connection with other quadrupeds, it is described by certain authors
as a very thin muscle, arising below the cavity of the orbit, where it
is blended with the fibres of the internal elevator of the upper lip and
the ala of the nose; thence it proceeds to terminate below by uniting
with the subcutaneous muscle. But this muscle is regarded by other
authors as the lachrymal muscle, which does not exist in this state in
man, but of which the development is particularly remarkable, as to
extent, in the ox, in which it descends as far as the buccinator.
According to other authors, some of the fibres of this muscle constitute
the small zygomatic.

=Levator Labii Superioris Proprius= (Fig. 90, 5; Figs. 91, 92).--Also
named by veterinarians the _supramaxillo-labial_, or again, the _proper
elevator of the upper lip_, this muscle arises from the external surface
of the superior maxillary bone, passes under the superficial elevator,
which we shall study in the succeeding paragraph, and goes to be
inserted into the thickness of the lip, to which its name indicates that
it belongs.
The peculiarities of this muscle in different animals are the following:
In the dog and the cat it arises behind the infra-orbital foramen.
In the pig it arises from a depression below the orbital cavity, and its
fleshy body is terminated in front by a strong tendon in the upper part
of the snout, in which it divides into fasciculi.
In the ox it arises from the maxillary spine.
