peroneus longus tendons are filled, up. Both feet, but especially 

 the left, have been in a condition of talipes varus. On the 

 outer side of the os calcis the groove for the peroneus longus 

 is unduly prominent, especially on the right side, where new 

 bone has been formed round it. 



The whole of the bones, but especially those of the left 

 side, are light, soft, and greasy. G. C. 3489.

11. 48. Genu-Valgum. — Left femur of an adult — macerated, illus- 

 trating the above. 



The bone has been mounted in a nearly vertical position. 

 The inner condyle is relatively much lower than the ou.ter. The 

 increased quantity of bone on the inside is apparently just above 

 the condyle. The centre of the articular surface of the condyle 

 is similar. The upper end of the shaft is flattened from before 

 backwards, and a strong ridge leads down from the neck along 

 the inner side of the shaft. The neck itself is unusually 

 horizontal. B. C. i. i. M. 21.

 illustrating the above. 



Both are in the condition known as hammer toe. The 

 first inter-phalangeal joint is strongly flexed, and the other is 

 extended. The head of the first phalanx is exposed, and the 

 skin over it has been irritated by the pressure of the boot. 

 The distal end of the soft parts of the toe is greatly enlarged in 

 each case. G. C. 3243.
