MUSCLES
In the accounts of the muscles the name used by Hudson, _et al._ (1959)
for each muscle is given in parentheses after the name used by me if the
two differ.
In the account of each muscle, the description of the condition found in
most specimens of the Lesser Prairie Chicken (_T. pallidicinctus_) is
given first. This is hereafter referred to as the typical condition for
_T. pallidicinctus_. Then any individual variations found within this
species are given. Under the heading _T. cupido_ any constant
differences between this species and typical _T. pallidicinctus_ are
given first, and any individual variations found within the species _T.
cupido_ (both subspecies considered together) are given second. Under
the heading _P. p. jamesi_ any constant differences between this
subspecies and the typical condition for _T. pallidicinctus_ (thus these
differences are not necessarily constant between the two genera) are
given first, and any individual variations found within the subspecies
_P. p. jamesi_ are given second.
