distal extremity of the humerus and the tuberculum internum of 

 the ulna (Fig. 14, No. 9). 



The Ugamentum annulare radii originates on the olecranon, sur- 

 rounds the head of the radius, and is attached to the tuberculum 

 internum of the ulna (Fig. 15, No. 3). 



The Ugamentum cubiti teres extends from the head of the radius 

 to the upper end of the ulna (Fig. 15, No. 4).

The Ugamentum transversum spreads out between the head of the 

 ulna and the radius, thus uniting the two bones, and limiting supina- 

 tion (Fig. 15, No. i). 



Ligaments of the Carpal Joint. — The carpal joint is made up of 

 the ulna, radius, the two carpal bones and the metacarpus. 



There are two strong Ugamenta obliqua carpi ulnaris which ex-
