Extract

Under this very broad title we have selected three aspects of current and recent work which have a bearing on our understanding of the interpretation of findings dealing with muscle-weight distribution. The first is a justification of the anatomical approach, the second a confirmation of, and elaboration on, some earlier work, and the third a suggestion for some future thinking.
