ancle-bone. Fibula, the button, (becaufe it feems to button together the mulcles 
of the fhank,) which is alfo called fura, the calf; is a firm bone, being drawa alon; 
before the tibia without, as the radius before the cubit. The upper end with i its 
round head fubfitts beneath the knee; but, with i its hollownets, 1 it “Teceives the la- 
teral knob, which is under the epiphyfis in the | upper end of the tibia. ‘In the mid-

ligament, joining thefe BOnES in longitude, and where alfo the mutcles of the feet 
are placed. 
The bones of the ‘tarfus, or inftep, are feven. Aftragalos, the game-bone, to which

“toe is the longeft, the next is fhorter, and the reft each fhorter inorder. ~The lower 
end of that which ftays the great toe, is received by the cuneiforme majus: the {-
