158 ANATOMICAL TECHNOLOGY. ^ffehite/:' frflc/iJn- The Immerus of the cat presents a subcylindrical shaft—the diaphysis, and two enlarged and irregular ends—the Exlremitates proximales and distales. Viewed from the ventral or dorsal aspect, the caudal and ce- phalic outlines of the entire bone are concave, the con- cavity being both greater and more regular on the cau- dal side (on which the three braces are placed). Seen,' however, from either the cau- dal or cephalic side, as in Fig. 68 and 70, the dorsal and ventral outlines are S-shaped. On the dorsal side the sharper curvature is near the distal end, while the reverse is the case with the ventral side. In other words, the proximal extrem- ity is more enlarged dorsad, and the distal one ven- trad.

The cat's humerus does not present the appearance of having been twisted which characterizes that of man and some other Mammals— an appearance which is due, at least in part, to the devel- opment of ridges with inter- vening furrows having a more or less distinctly spiral arrangement for the attachment or accommodation of muscles, vessels or nerves. m. epWrochXtim, cLiataLCs. niaa uljLanl.

Description of Fig. 46.—This represents the ventral aspect of the right humerus, that which is most commonly and fully examined and compared. The same aspect of the left humerus is represented in Fig. 69, and the cephalic, caudal and dorsal aspects in Fig. 68,70 and 71 respectively. § 409. Canalis Bicipitalis—The bicipital canal or groove (Fig. 30, 45, 46, 69, 70).— This is a marked depression upon the ventro-caudal aspect of the proximal extremity. As better shown in Fig. 45, it lies between the eminences called trochiter and trochin. In the
