578 The Limbs as a Whole. 



From a young woman, aged 18. There M^as no family history of 

 deformity. At birth both the first and second toes were unusually large, 

 and they grew much more rapidly than the others. The second toe, being 

 the larger, was amputated in infancy. Some years before the cast was 

 taken the great toe had ceased to grow ; but as the projection of the nail 

 caused inconvenience, it was excised by Mr A. G. Miller. 



The enlargement seemed to be chiefly in the soft parts. 

 The three outer toes and the outer parts of the foot are 

 apparently normal. The enlargement of the great toe extends 

 backwards over the dorsum to about opposite the base of the first 

 metatarsal bone. G. C. 2856.
