The Skeleton 89 
second has three, the third has four, and the fourth 
has four. According to Reynolds, the fourth toe 
has five phalanges; the figure here shown, which 
was drawn from nature, has only four on the fourth 
toe; the latter is the number given by Bronn 
for the crocodiles. The terminal phalanges of the 
first three digits are large and pointed, with the same 
lateral grooves noted in connection with the fore 
foot; each is sheathed in a horny claw. The four 
fully developed digits of the pes are nearly twice as 
long as the corresponding digits of the manus, but 
they are not proportionately thicker.
