two separate pads on the right paw (fig. 13, /, /O and by three 

 separate pads on the left paw (fig. 13, /, f\ /-). The proximal 

 pads (figs. 13 and 14, g) seem to be similar in the two cases al- 

 though the shorter hand in the case of the abnormal cat brings 

 them in that case nearer the digital pads. 



On the right hind paw there are three digital pads (fig. 15, 

 h, c, e) corresponding to the normal four (fig. 16, h, c, d, e). On 



Fig. 12 Ventral view of the hind feet of the abnormal cat showing the pads.
