The Muscle behind the Thigh, shows a greater Variety of Extensions, and Contractions, than any other Muscle in the Body; the next after this, is that which forms the Buttocks; the third is that of the Chine; the fourth that of the Throat; the fifth that of the Shoulder; and the sixth that of the Stomach; which last, has its rise under the Paps, and terminates under the Groin.
