APPENDIX. 



Fibula. — This bone is in rather better condition than the last, wanting only a small portion 

 of its upper extremity. The width at the middle of the body, 2.5 ; the length of this particular 

 specimen, minus a portion of its upper extremity, 18.5. 



The lower extremity has three articulating surfaces : one for the external point of the 

 inferior extremity of the tibia ; a second for the articulation of the astragalus ; a third for that 

 of the os calcis. 



Tarsus. — Only one bone of the tarsus has been lost, — the last cuneiform, or that of the 

 thumb. They all belong to the left foot, as well as the metatarsals and phalanges. The loss of 

 the right foot must be attributed to the same unknown cause which destroyed the leg, and 

 injured the femur of that side. 



Astragalus. — Thick and robust, it measures, in the transverse diameter, 5.1; antero-pos- 

 teriorly, 4.3 ; the height of the internal side, 3.1. 



Calcaneum. — Of all the bones of the tarsus, the most voluminous and irregular. Including- 

 the heel, it measures 7.5 in length, by 5.9 in width at the anterior part of the body. 



Scaphoid. — This bone is rather an oval plane ; its transverse diameter, 4.3 ; the vertical 

 diameter, 0.3 ; antero-posterior diameter, 0.1. 



Cuboid. — In no respect deserving the name, its figure being very far from cubic. Distance 

 between the two anterior angles or length, 3.9 ; greatest height, i.e. on interior side, 1.8. 



Cuneiforms. — Only the second and third remain entire.
