9i The Anatomy cf a HORSE. Chap. V!. 



Procefs, long and round, which enters the larger Cavity 

 of the lower Head of the Shoulder-bone, and makes that 

 bunching out which is ufually called the Elbow ; this Prc- 

 cefs is fomewhat rough and uneven, partly that the Liga- 

 ments that encompafs the Joint might be the more flrongly 

 knit to it, and partly for the Origination and Infertion of 

 the Mufcles which ferve to move thofe Parts ; for which 

 Caufe the Bone is rough at the Root of this Procefs, as 

 alfo the whole Circumference of the Sinus^ into which it 

 is infer ted. 



The feven fmoll Between this and the Shank- bone, there 

 Bones ft ate d be- ^^^ Ranges of little Bones, one above ano» 

 inx:een the Leg- ther, three in the firll Range, and four in 

 bone amtShank, the fecond, all which are very firmly join'd 

 together, lliefe differ one from another 

 in their Magnitude, Forms, and Situation, and are faid 

 to be firll cartilaginous, bm that in Procefs of Time they 

 grow hard and bony. Their Subllance is fpongy, as are all 

 thofe which at firft are only cartilaginous ; of which Kind 

 are the Appendages of Bones, the Rreaft-bone, and the like. 

 They are covered with a Ligament, which is partly mem- 

 branous, and partly cartilaginous, whereby they are fo com- 

 padled, that without dividing the laid Ligament, it is hard 

 10 diftinguifli them one from another, but at firll View they 

 may be all taken for one Bone. 



On their outer Surface they are fomewhat bunching, but 

 on their In fide they are hollow. The firft that is placed on 

 the Infide of the upper Rank, is fomewhat longifh, and 

 curved inwards, articulated with the Cubit-bone, and be- 

 low with the fecond of the lower Rank, touching both 

 the third and fourth of the fame Rank, and joined to the 

 fecond of its ovrn Rank. The fecond has a Cavity on its 

 upper Part, which receives an Appendix of the Cubit- 

 bone. Tlie third is joined above, by a plain Surface, to 

 the il^id Cubit- bone, and with the fecond is joined under- 

 neath toths fourth Bone of the low^er Rank. The fourth 

 Bone, or firft of the lower Rank, is round and fmooth, and 

 is ;o:ned above to the Outfide of (he lower Part of the firft 

 Bone, and below to the Shank -bone. The fifth has on its 

 upp^r Part a large ^inm^ into which the firft Bone of the 

 upper Rank is articulated, and another below for Recep- 

 tion of Part of the Head of the Shank-bone. The fixth is 

 join'd with a plain Superficies on each fide, to the feventh, 

 and the foregoing above to the fecond, ^nd below to tihe
