PEOP. K. TON BABDELEBEN ON THE 



[Apr. 17, 



Beneath this tendon there is an obUque muscle Kke a muse. 

 transversus s. ohliquus carpi. 



From the fascia arises a weak muscle which seems to be the 

 remains of ihejlexor brevis superjicialis. 



There are also an abductor minimi and an " o^jpcmens " which 

 forms the outer part of the flexor brevis superflcialis. 



The tibialis posticus (or medialis'l) is inserted: — 



(1) By an aponeiu-otic triangular expansion on the Ph. ; (2) it 

 gives origin to a strong muscular belly (like a lumbricalis) ending 

 in a tendon which goes to phalanx II. of the 2nd toe; it is 

 perforated by the tendon of the profundus (fibulans) ; (3) it con- 

 tinues into a tendon which joins the flexor di(fit. profundus, where 

 it sends the tendon to the hallux. 



" Tibialis quartus " I should like to name a muscle which is 

 situated on the outer side of the " tibialis 2)osticus." It seems to 

 be rudimentary or reduced ; I could not find the insertion, because 

 the tendon was torn on the back of the os trigouum. 



The flexor digitorum sublimis (tibialis) goes to toes 3-5 ; first 

 it is fleshy for a long way, then tendinous, and finally fleshy 

 again (=lumbncalis'^). The sublimis is largely connected with 

 the profundus (flhularis), contra Dobson. 



(3. Extensores. 



The nerv. peronseus goes to the 5th, 4th, 3rd, and 2nd toes 

 (half). 



There are four m. peroncei : 



Origin. 



(1) Cond. lat. femoris. 



(2) Cond. lat. fem., head of tbe 



fibula (lat.). representing a 

 fleshr lig. laterale. 



(3) a. Middle third of fibula, 

 outside. 



b. Femur, connected with (1). 



(4) Anterior surface of the 



fibula, upper half. 



Peculiarities. 



Superficial, strong, 



behind (2). 

 First flat, then 



rounded. 



Strongest tendon 

 of all peronsei. 



Between (1) and 

 (3 a). 



Insertion. 

 Planta. 



Metat. v., 5th toe. 



Outer border of 

 the foot. 



Dorsal aspect of 

 the 5th, 4th, 3rd 

 toes. 



2. TeICHOSTJEUS TULPECtTLA. 



The 2nd and 3rd toes reduced and united ; hallux widely 

 diverging. 



a. Flexores. 



The gastrocnemius is strong, two-headed, takes origin from the 

 femur; inserted into the tuberositas calcanei. 



Tl\iQ plantaris is also strong ; inserted into the tuberos. calc. and 

 fascia plantaris. 



Theflexw brevis digitorum superficialxs arises from the tendon 

 of the plantaris and ends on the outer border of the foot.
