MR. A. SANDERS ON LIOLEPIS RELLI. 



[Feb. 6, 



the third goes to the terminal phalanx of the same digit. The deep 

 section arises by a rounded tendon from the depression in the centre 

 of the dorsal surface of the astragalo-calcaneum, and from the 

 proximal two thirds of the tibial side of the metatarsal bone of the 

 fourth digit, also from about three fourths of the proximal end of 

 the dorsal surface of the third metatarsal ; its tendon passes through 

 the arch formed by the superficial head, and is inserted with it into 

 the terminal phalanx of the digit in question. The next arises from 

 the dorsal surface of the third metatarsal, and, receiving the slip from 

 the fourth, is inserted by a long tendon into the penultimate phalanx 

 of the third digit. 



The next arises fleshy from the peroneal side of the dorsal surface 

 of the astragalo-calcaneum ; passing over to the tibial side, it divides 

 into three muscular slips: the first slip passes through the two 

 tendons of the extensor longus digitorum, and, receiving a reinforce- 

 ment from the peroneal side of the dorsal surface of the second 

 metatarsal bone, ends in a long tendon, which is inserted into the base 

 of the terminal phalanx of the third digit ; the second slip likewise 

 receives a reinforcement from the whole length of the tibial side of 

 the second metatarsal bone, and ends in a tendon which is inserted 

 into the terminal phalanx of the second digit ; the third slip receives 

 a reinforcement from the middle third of the first metatarsal bone, 

 and sends a tendon to be inserted into the base of the terminal 

 phalanx of the hallux. 



No lumbricales were found in this specimen.
