In most of those which follow, and where a greater development of the limb confers more extensive and more varied powers of motion, applicable to a greater range of objects, this bone is found. In the greater number, however, it is merely in a rudimental state; that is, developed only to a certain extent, one portion being bony, and the rest cartilaginous; as if the ossification had been arrested at an early stage. These imperfect clavicles are too short to connect the scapula with the sternum; the rest of the space being eked out by cartilage, and by ligaments: but still they are of great use in affording points of attachment to the muscles of the limb, and giving them the advantage of acting by a rigid lever. The carnivorous tribes, which make considerable use of their fore paws in striking and seizing their prey, have clavicles of this description. Those quadrupeds which have to execute still more complex actions with their fore feet, have perfect clavicles, extending from the shoulder to the chest, and connecting the bones of the anterior extremity with the general framework of the skeleton. This is the case in a large proportion of the family of Bodentia, such as the Squirrel, which employs its paws for holding objects; and the Beaver, which likewise makes great use of its fore feet, which might almost be termed hands, in building its habitation. Animals that dwell in trees, and require to grasp with force the branches in moving along them, such as the Sloth, have also distinct clavicles. Animals which rake or dig the ground, as the Mole, the Ant-eater, and the Hedgehog, are all pro...
