The belly for the second toe was quite distinct and separate from the 

 others and arose from the calcaneum. The other two bellies arose 

 from the plantar aspect of the undivided tendon of the flexor longus 

 digitorum (Fig. 3). 



Flexor accessorius. 



This was an exceedingly minute muscular slip inserted into the 

 outer side of the tendon of flexor longus digitorum prior to its junc- 

 tion with that of flexor longus hallucis (Fig. 3). 



Abductor hallucis. 



This muscle overlapped the calcaneal head of the flexor brevis 

 digitorum at its origin and almost met the abductor minimi digiti. 

 At a distance of ^ an inch from its insertion it joined the inner- 

 head of flexor brevis hallucis. 



Abductor minimi digiti. 



There were two tendons belonging to this muscle : 



1. A long tendon inserted into the outer side of base of first 

 phalanx of fifth toe. 



2. A short tendon inserted into the tuberosity of the fifth meta- 

 tarsal. This latter tendon with the muscular slip belonging to it 

 corresponds to an abductor ossis metatarsi qiiinti. Hepburn found 

 the same condition in the gorilla. 



Flexor brevis hallucis. 



This muscle had two heads, an inner and an outer. The inner 

 joined the abductor hallucis as before noted and was inserted into the 

 inner side of base of first phalanx. The outer head was also well 

 marked and formed a fairly broad muscle. There was, however, con- 

 siderable fasciculation in this muscle as Champneys also notes. In 

 fact, six more or less distinct portions could be made out. 



Adductor hallucis. 



Arose from a fibrous septum attached to the centre of the middle 

 metatarsal in its whole length. Another slip also arose from the 



distal ends of the second and third metatarsal bones.
