The mufcles of the four little toes are eighteen, having tendons comprehended 
with a circular and ctranfverfe ligament, which encompaffes them beneath the ancles, 
juft as in the wrift. Mujculus major, arifing from the upper apiphyfis of the tibia - 
under the ham, by a long and flefhy beginning, paffes under the. inner ancle, and 
by the hollownefs of the heel goes to the fole of the foot, where it is divided into 
four tendons, inferted into the third and laft joint of che four toes. Flexor minor, 
lies in the midft of che fole of the foot, arifing from the inner part of the heel-bone, 
and is divided into four round tendons, which are carried and inferted into the fecond 
articulation of the four toes. Exven/or longus, arifes with a nervous and fhort begin- 
ning from the upper appendix of the tibia, and, cleaving to the ligament which 
unites the focils, runs down to the foot, pafling firft under the tranfverfe liga- 
ment; then, being divided into four tendons, they are inferted into the fecond and 
third joints of the four toes. Extenfor brevis, lies under the former, arifes from the 
- tranfverfe ligament, fefhy and broad, and is by four tendons inferted into the 
firft joints of the four toes. Lumbricales quatuor, they arife from the tendons of the 
perforans, fmall and round, and are inferted by fo many {mall tendons into the fides 
of the firft joints-of the four toes. — Interoffei decem, they arife from the bones of the 
pedium, and are placed between the bones of the foot, filling the void {paces of the 
metapedium, being ten in number, five external and five internal. They arife by 
the fides of the bones of the inftep, the former to the firft interjointings : the ninth 
of the interoffei, is the abductor of the great toe: the tenth and lait is the {pecial ab-
