428 THE AXATO:\[Y OF THE ITORSE 



OS scaphoidcs, os cuboidos, and the little artlirodial spots between the 08 

 cuneifunne and os cub<»idos. 



Movements. — Xwy limited ; gliding motion is only enjoyed. 



THE TARSO-METATARSAL ARTICULATION 



This joint is formed by the meeting of three bones of the tarsus (the 

 cuboid, OS cuneiforme magnum, and os cuneiforme parvum), with the supei-ior 

 extremities of the three metatarsal bones, which arc kept in contact tlu'ough 

 the medium of the superficial lateral ligaments of the tibio-tarsal articulation, 

 the calcaneo-metatarsal and asti-agalo-metatarsal ligaments, and by a strong 

 interosseous ligament, divided into three fasciculi, which are attached 

 inferiorly to the three metatarsal bones. 



The propeu synovial capsule of this joint mounts between the 

 cuboido-scajihoid arthrodial surfaces and those which unite the ossa cunei- 

 forme magnum and par\uni ; it descends between the inter-metatarsal 

 articulations. 



Movements. — Similar to the preceding. 



INTER-METATARSAL ARTICULATIONS 



These are precisely similar to the inter-metacarpal articulations described 

 at page 412. 



REMAINING ARTICULATIONS OF THE POS- 

 TERIOR MEMBERS 



The descriptions of the several joints of the fore-iimbs at pages 395, 396, 

 397, will sulhce for those of the hind-legs.
