 the fourth ; the fiftli is the ehorteet and most voluminoufl. 



3. Digital region.— Thie compnses tive digits or toes. The phalanges of these toes are 

 analoo'ous to those of the fingersi, from which they are distinguished by their small size. They 

 increase in volume from the first to the fifth digit. 



Article VII.— The Foot in General. 



It would be useless to reproduce here the general considerations discussed 

 when treating of the hand (p. 121), and it may therefore be sufficient to state

that the works of the anatomists already mentioned — and especially those of Joly 

 and Lavocat — have demonstrated that the foot of animals is constructed on the 

 same type as the hand. In it, as in the hand, three sections are remarked : the
