ZYGODACTYL TOES 



Zygodactyly, or union of the flesh between the toes occurs more often between the second and 

 third toes than between any others. They seem to have a [natural affinity for each other as 

 indicated in Figs. 7 and 10. It is not a common_condition;_one investigator found only eight 

 cases in examining 20,000 men. (Fig. 9.) 



R. B. 



TENDONS UNITED IN ZYGODACTYLY 



A shows the tendons connecting to zygodactyl second and third toes, B, the tendons in a normal 

 ■foot. When the toes are webbed the tendons are united much farther along than is normally the 

 case. Note that the tendons to toes II and III are normally united farther up than the others, 

 pointing to a closer connection between these two toes. (F"ig. 10.)
