the cannon bone) has in apposition with it laterally a pair of splint- 

 like vestiges which represent the metacarpals or metatarsals of 

 the second and fourth digits. In the Artiodactyla, on the other 

 hand, the third and fourth digits form a symmetrical pair. In 

 the Ruminant Artiodactyles (Fig. 1174) the metacarpals or meta- 

 tarsals of these digits unite to form a single elongated bone, the 

 cannon bone. 



The pelvis of most Ungulata is greatly elongated. The ilia are 

 wide transversely ; the symphysis is very long, involving a part of

the ischia as well as the pubes. In the Perissodactyla, but not 

 in the Artiodactyla, there is a well-marked third trochanter. 



In some Ungulates (Rhinoceroses, Tapirs, Pigs, Hippopotami) 

 the fibula is distinct though slender. In the Horse it is represented 

 by a vestige. In the Ruminants it is represented only by a small 

 vestige, the malleolar bone, which articulates with the distal end 

 of the tibia. 



The structure of the foot exhibits a close parallelism to that 

 of the manus. The tarsal bones are closely dovetailed together, 

 and articulate with one another by flat surfaces. The hallux is
