There are six well-defined border pads, the most prominent 

 being I, II and H, and the smallest, III. The broad base of 

 the highly opposable pollex bears the greater part of pad I 

 and a portion of Th. 



Pads 2" and 3 P are small but definite in one hand of the 

 single individual examined in this respect, absent in the other. 

 The epidermis is continuously ridged except in a relatively 

 small part of the central area and in the flexion furrows.

Figures 21-24 



The pads are not only prominently elevated but they are also 

 outlined by flexion furrows. Some are crossed by flexion 

 furrows, but the unity of a pad thus subdivided is reflected in 

 the singleness of its configuration. The base of the hallux 

 bears I and Th, fused in a single eminence. The hypothenar 

 region bears two separate prominences, H d and H p . In both 

 soles of one animal central pads occur, 2 P and 3 P .
