outer edge of the cotyloid cavity, passing outwards and a little 

 upwards, and is inserted behind the trochanter major. Another 

 muscle arises from the anterior part of the acetabulum, passing 

 directly outwards, and is strongly attached to the ligament of the 

 joint ; it is inserted into the thigh-bone just below its neck. 



" A muscle arises from the interior and a small part of the anterior 

 and posterior surfaces of the thigh-bone, from near its neck to the 

 condyles, and forms a tendon which is inserted into the ridge at the 

 anterior internal part of the tibia immediately below its head. The 

 cruralis arises fleshy from all the superior and external parts of the 

 bone not occupied by the former ; one part is inserted into the whole 

 of the superior surface of the patella, the remainder passes over the 

 internal part of the patella and is attached to the internal side of the 

 head of the tibia. A muscle arises by four heads : the first, tendi- 

 nous, from the ridge behind the external condyle which formed the 

 loop through which the gluteus maximus passed ; the second, fleshy, 

 from the internal side of the triceps ; the third, from the inferior por- 

 tion of the intero-anterior ridge of the tibia ; the fourth, from the in- 

 ferior internal edge of the patella ; these two last join just below the 

 origin of the third, and passing down tendinous are united to the two 

 other tendons a little above the ancle-joint : it expands and flattens 

 at the joint, and just below it divides into two tendons, the internal of 

 which is inserted into the internal edge of the groove on the plantar 

 surface of the metatarsal bone, while the external tendon is inserted 

 into the external head of the same bone. Another muscle arises 

 from the postero-inferior part of the cotyloid cavity, passes forwards 

 on the exterior part of the thigh and over the groove on the patella, 

 and is attached on the interior part of the head of the tibia. The 

 tendon of the Jlexor perforatus is composed of four muscles, which 

 unite just above the ancle-joint. The first arises by two heads, one 

 fiom the outer surface of the external, and the other from the inner 

 side of the internal condyle ; about the end of the upper third of the 

 tibia this forms a tendon, which passes down to the place of junction 

 with the others : the second has also two heads, one from the pos- 

 terior part of the head of thejibula, and the other immediately be- 

 low the attachment of the glutmis maximus ; the muscle forms its 

 tendon just below the middle of the bone, and passes forwards and 

 joins that of the first muscle : the third has one origin between the 

 two condyles, and forms its tendon at the middle of the leg, passing 

 on and joining the two former: the fourth muscle arises immedi- 

 ately above the third, and forms its tendon like the rest, joining them 

 above the ancle : after the tendons are united they are distributed 

 as usual. The Jlexor perforans consists of two heads ; the first arises 

 from the back part of both condyles ; the second arises from the 

 superior and posterior third of the tibia, fibula, and interosseous liga- 

 ment : they unite about halfway down the bone and form a tendon, 

 which passes in the groove of the plantar surface of the metatarsal 

 bone, and is distributed in the usual manner. A muscle arises from
