At the proximal end of tlie metatarsus. Dis- 

 tance between the lateral And the mesial 

 margins of the surface of articulation with 

 the tarsal bones 2'47 



At the proximal end of the metatarsus. Dis- 

 tance between the lateral scabrous surface 

 immediately digitad from the articular mar- 

 gin, And the extremity of the scabrous pro- 

 tuberance on the opposite mesial surface . 2'65 



Greatest distance ; interveningly to the proxi- 

 mal and the digital ends of the metatarsus, 

 between the lateral and the mesial surfaces 

 of the caudal margins of the groove occupy- 

 ing the caudal surface of the bone . . . 1"56 



Smallest distance between the lateral And the 

 mesial surfaces of the rostral and more 

 solid portion of the metatarsus; interve- 

 ningly to the proximal and the digital ends 

 of the bone 1-25 



At the digital end of the metatarsus. Distance 

 between the lateral And the mesial margins 

 of the digital extremity of the surfaces of 

 articulation with the plantar bones ... * 



At the digital end of the metatarsus. Distance 

 betiveen the sinuosity on the caudo-digital 

 extremity of the lateral articular margin, 

 And the opposite similar sinuosity on tlie 

 mesial articular margin *

On the Right Side. 



At the proximal end of the metatarsus. Dis- 

 tance from the rostro-lateral articular mar- 

 gin, To the opposite caudal extremity of 

 the tuberous proximal elevation of the cau- 

 dal articular margin 2'05 



At the proximal end of the metatarsus. Dis- 

 tance from the scabrous surface immedi- 

 ately digitad from the rostro-mesial articular 

 margin. To the opposite smooth and flat- 

 tened surface of the enlargement and prox- 

 imal elevation of the caudal articular mar- 

 gin 1-96 



Greatest distance from the rostral surface of 

 the lateral portion of the metatarsus (di- 

 vided from the mesial portion by a furrow- 

 like depression), To the caudo-lateral mar- 

 gin of the groove occupying the caudal 

 surface of the bone; interveningly to the 

 proximal and the digital ends .... r72 



Greatest distance from the rostral surface of 

 the mesial portion of the metatarsus. To 

 the caudo-mesial margin of the groove oc- 

 cupying the caudal surface of the bone; 

 interveningly to the proximal and the digi- 

 tal ends 1'48 



Smallest distance from the rostral surface of 

 the metatarsus. To the opposite caudal 

 surface; interveningly to the proximal and 

 the digital ends of the bone, Being over its 

 digital bifurcation l-QO 



At the digital end of the metatarsus. Distance 

 from the rostro-lateral articular margin of 

 the lateral condyle. To the hollow of the 

 disjunction of the lateral and the middle of 

 three tubercles on the caudal articular mar- 

 gin of that condyle 1'49 



At the digital end of the metatarsus. Distance 

 from the rostro-mesial articular margin of 

 the lateral condyle. To the caudal extremity 

 of the mesial of three tubercles on the cau- 

 dal articular margin of that condyle . . 1-58 



At the digital end of the metatarsus. Distance 

 from the rostro-lateral articular margin of 

 the mesial condyle, To the caudal extremity 

 of the lateral of three tubercles on the cau- 

 dal articular margin of that condyle . . 1'73
