 in Lemur, and also in the Frog, where it is largely developed. 

 Interossei. The interossei of the human foot are peculiar, 

 as in all Apes (even in the Gorilla) they resemble in arrange- 

 ment the interossei of the hand, owing to the arising of the 

 nbular interosseus of the second digit from the middle meta-

tarsals on the dorsal side of the tibial interosseus of the middle 

 digit. They are nearly constant muscles, and are largely 

 developed even in Batrachians, as in the Frog, which animal 

 possesses indeed a singularly rich myological furniture of the 

 foot. In the Bat there are two interossei to each toe. They 

 may consist, as in the Horse, of two small muscles, one 

 being placed between the styliform and the large metacarpal 

 on each side.
