-The ''Rhomboideus major'' arises by tendinous fibers from the spinous processes of the second, third, fourth, and fifth [[thoracic vertebræ]] and the [[supraspinal ligament]], and is inserted into a narrow tendinous arch, attached above to the lower part of the triangular surface at the root of the spine of the [[scapula]]; below to the inferior angle, the arch being connected to the vertebral border by a thin membrane. When the arch extends, as it occasionally does, only a short distance, the muscular fibers are inserted directly into the scapula.
