failed to perceive the true relations of the profundus tendons to the 
amphibian palmar aponeurosis, relations which it would be difficult to 
discover without the aid of sections. He has, however, recognized the 
relations of the flexores breves superficiales to the sublimis and the 
probable end to end union of the two muscles, an arrangement which, as 
he points out, throws clear light on many of the anomalies occurring 1n 
connection with the human sublimis.
