Extract

The kindness of Professor Cunningham has enabled me to carry out the dissection of a gibbon in his possession. The dissection was performed in 1905, in the Anatomical Department of the University of Edinburgh. The following paper is a description of the short muscles of the hand of the animal, to which is added a consideration of the primitive position and function of the short muscles of the human hand.
