152 PROCEEDING OF THE ANATOMICAL AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL 



Flexor lun(}u# di<)itorum and flexor 



We shall treat these two muscles together. 



The flexor longus digitorum arising from the tibia supplies 

 tendons to the second and fifth toes, while the flexor longus hallucis 

 arising from the fibula supplies tendons to the first, third and fourth 

 toes. At the point where the main tendons of the flexor longus 

 digitorum and flexor longus hallucis cross, they are connected with 

 each other by a strong tendinous band (Fig. 3).

FIG. 3. 



Lumbricales. 



There are four lumbricals. The first arises from the ulnar side 

 of the deep tendon to the second toe and passes to the inner side of 

 the second toe. 



The second lumbrical arose mostly from the tendon to the third 

 toe and slightly from that to the second toe. 



The third lumbrical had its origin wedged in between the tendons 

 to the third and fourth toes. 



The fourth lumbrical had its origin mostly from the tendon to 

 the fourth toe and partly from that to the fifth toe. 



Flexor brevis digitorum,. 



This muscle had three bellies and three tendons supplying the 

 second, third and fourth toes. There was no tendon for the little toe.
