of Fingers and Toes, and of the Phalanges,in Man. 97 
The absence of a tendo perforatus proceeding separately to the 
finger corresponds to the fact of the absence of one of the pha- 
langes. The Flexor Longus Pollicis is large, arising also from the 
edge of the ulna. It proceeds entirely to the distal phalanx of the 
pollex. It is not joined by any slip, except that, above, the fleshy 
slip which usually descends to the muscle from the condyloid origin 
of the flexor sublimis is unusually large. 
The short muscles of the little finger are all present with the 
usual attachments. So also the short muscles of the thumb, with 
some modification. The Abductor is large. The Adductor arises 
from the annular ligament. The Opponens is small, much smaller 
than the opponens (flexor ossis meta-carpi) minimi digiti. The 
Flexor Brevis Pollicis, undersized, arises from the two sides of the 
metacarpal bone; the ulnar head appearing like a second interos- 
seous. There is one Jnterosseous muscle for the little finger, along 
its radial side. 
Extensor Muscles.—The Extensor Carpi Radialis Longior sends a 
small tendon to the base of the metacarpal bone of the pollex, and 
a large tendon to between the bases of both metacarpals, chiefly to 
the ulnar. The Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevior, also large, goes 
to the carpus just above the ulnar metacarpal. The Extensor Carpi 
Ulnaris is entirely wanting. The Hatensor Communis Digitorum 
gives a tendon to each finger, that to the pollex only a little the 
largest. The Hatensor Minimi Digiti is quite distinct from the 
latter asa muscle. Its only tendon goes to the little finger, join- 
ing with the tendon to that finger from the common extensor, the 
latter being the larger. Two muscles form the deep layer. One 
has the fleshy attachments of the Extensor Ossis Metacarpi Pollicis, 
but its tendon goes to the first phalanx, and is therefore the Ex- 
tensor Primi Internodii. The other muscle has the fleshy attach- 
ments of the long extensor of the thumb, and the extensor of the 
fore-finger. Besides two tendinous slips to the back of the carpus, 
it ends in two tendons which join the tendons of the long common 
extensor. One of them, therefore, represents the Extensor Secundi 
Internodit Pollicis ; the other the Hatensor Indicis, going to the only 
remaining finger, 
Nerves.—The Ulnar supplies the ulnar side of the little finger, 
and unites with the median for the supply of the radial side of the 
same finger. The Median supplies both sides of the pollex, and is 
also the principal nerve for the ulnar side of the little finger. The 
interdigital space receives for its supply, as above described, a series 
of nerves, three from the median and two from the ulnar, as if the 
nerves of the wanting fingers had been crowded into the cleft. 
(2.) Dissection or Rigut Foot.—This foot presents three toes, 
the internal having the usual characters of the great toe. 
Bonrs.—Each of the lesser toes has the three phalanges—the 
great toe the usual two. The metatarsal bones are three in number, 
the internal having its usual great size. The second tarsal row pre- 
sents a bone for the support of each metatarsal—two cuneiform 
bones and the cuboid—but the latter is fused with the os calcis.
