_Humero-radialis Brevis_ (Plate II., Fig. 4, _d_) (Supinator brevis,
Kurze Rückwärtswender, Extensor carpi-radialis brevis [?]). Arises near
the preceding from the external condyle of the humerus and is inserted
at the upper end of the radius.
_Humero-carpi-radialis_ (Plate II., Fig. 2, _a_) (Aeusserer oder langer
Speichenmuskel, Musculus quem parti superiori extensoris digitorum
communis respondere videbat, Extensor carpi-radialis longus, Abductor
pollicis longus). Towards the ulna, near the supinator longus muscle.
It springs from the external condyle of the humerus, covers the
supinator brevis muscle, and is inserted on the proximal end of the
carpi-radialis.
_Humero-carpi-ulnaris_ (Plate II., Fig. 2, _c_) (Extensor
carpi-ulnaris, Ulnaris externus). Originates on the external condyle of
the humerus, is inserted on the proximal end of the os carpi-ulnare.
_Humero-metacarpalis III., IV., V._ (Plate II., Fig. 2, _b_) (Extensor
digitorum longus, Aeusserer Speichenmuskel or Speichenstrecker der
Hand, Extenseur commun, Extensor radialis longus, Extensor digitorum
communis). This muscle lies between the humero-carpi-radialis and the
humero-carpi-ulnaris muscles. It springs from the condylus externus
humeri and divides, on reaching the carpus, into three thin, flat
tendons, which in part fuse with the carpo-phalangei muscle, and in
part are inserted on the carpal bones of the third, fourth, and fifth
fingers.
_Carpo-phalangei_ (Plate II., Fig. 2, _d_). (Extensor digitorum brevis,
Extenseurs courts, Gemeinschaftlicher Strecker der Hand, Extensor
digitorum communis brevis). Springs from the carpal and, in part, from
the metacarpal bones and is inserted on the terminal phalanges of the
five fingers.
_Ulno-carpi-radialis_ (Ein dem Strecker und Abzieher des Daumens
analoger Muskel, Extensor pollicis longus, Extensor carpi-radialis
brevior[?]). Springs from the under half of the ulna, and is inserted
on the os carpi-radiale.
_Carpo-phalangeus I._ (Extensor pollicis brevis). This is a small,
thick muscle that originates on the distal part of the os carpi-radiale
and is inserted on the phalanx of the thumb.
_Humero-radialis Lateralis_ (Plate II., Fig. 1, _6_) (Flexor
carpi-ulnaris, Innerer Ellenbogenmuskel, Ulnaris internus). A fairly
strongly developed muscle. It springs from the internal condyle of the
humerus, extends along the ulna, and is inserted on the proximal part
of the os carpi-ulnare, and the nearby pisiform bone.
_Humero-radialis Medialis_ (Plate II., Fig. 1, _2_) (Flexor
carpi-radialis, Radialis internus). A strongly developed muscle. It
springs from the internal condyle of the humerus, receives fibers from
almost the entire length of the radius, and is inserted on the proximal
end of the os carpi-radiale and with a thin tendon to the metacarpal
bone of the thumb. Rüdinger was not able to find this muscle in
_Alligator cynocephalus_.
