MYOLOGY. 



^presumably act as its tensors. It is attached to the crest arid 

 inner aspect of the tibia, and also to the calcaneum, and it blends 

 unth the annular ligaments of the tarsal joint, assisting in form- 

 ing sheaths for the tendons. This fascia is continued over the 

 tarsus and metatarsus; becoming somewhat thinner inferiorly; 

 "between the tendo-Achillis and the flexor muscles of the foot it 

 i^^x^ery strong, giving powerful bands to the former, and, near the 

 <;a;lidaneum, helping to form a sheath for the gastrocmius tendon, 

 ^31:6^ and before the tendo-Achillis it divides into two folds, 

 T^hich assist externally and internally in the formation of the 

 tarsal sheath, for the perforans tendon ;' between these folds are 

 the posterior vessels and nerves of the'region.
