VOLAE PADS 



In a preceding section the morphologic plan of volar pads 

 is 'described, and the nature of certain departures therefrom 

 is suggested. Individual pads may be completely or partially 

 suppressed, a pad may be expanded, two or more adjoining 

 pads may be fused ; also, there are marked variations in eleva- 

 tion and definiteness of circumscription. Most genera attain 

 what may be termed a stable non-conformity to the plan, in 

 that the pads of one or more regions present consistent de- 

 partures. The ontogenetic fusion of originally discrete inter- 

 digital pads of the cat has been observed by Wilder (1897), 

 and the drawings of fetal Tarsius in the Normentafel of 

 Hubrecht and Keibel suggest a similar history in this animal 

 of the plantar interdigital pads II and III.
