menelature which, to me, does not ap2:)ear correct, as these muscles 

 lie entirely on the ]ilantar surface, and do not adduct or abdnct the 

 toes, bnt flex them.

Like the corresponding- 

 muscle of the second toe 

 (n. 155)^ t^is arises by a small 

 tendon from the hinder ex- 

 tremity of the calcaneum, runs 

 backwards and is inserted into 

 the plantar surface of the os 

 metatarsi III. The greatest 

 portion of the muscle lies be- 

 neath the m. transversHS meta- 

 tarsi {tm), the most anterior 

 portion, however, lies above 

 this. Dug-es has described 

 this latter portion as a special 

 muscle (n. 176, metatarso- 

 metatarsien du III), the same 

 description holds good for the 

 second toe (n. 177, Dugès). 



158. M. flexor duj. Ill 

 proprius (Ecker), (Fig. 91 Fp;^). 



Dugès, sous-métatarso-phalan- 

 gien du III doigt, n. 195. 



Like the corresponding- 

 muscle of the second toe, 

 this arises from the plantar 

 surface of the os metatarsi III, 

 and is inserted by a thin tendon 

 into the plantar surface of the 

 anterior extremity of the first 

 phalanx.
