 rostral process of the lateral articular mar- 

 gin of the calcaneum, To the extremity of 

 the flattened and irregular surface at the 

 further end of the bone 6 '4 2

 margin of the articular surface of the cal- 

 caneum. To the extremity of the flattened 

 and irregular surface at the further end of 

 the bone 437 



Distance between the lateral margin of the 

 surface of the calcaneum articulated with 

 the proximo-lateral bone of the tarsus. And 

 the opposite curved mesial margin conti-

 end). Distance between the scabrous lateral 

 margin. And the opposite scabrous mesial 

 surface of the bone 1-68
