between the upper and lower ends of the individual leg bones, by sup- 

 I :sing that they have undergone a change ol position ard of continuity — 

 the upper end of the radius and the lower end of the ulna correspond to 

 the noma, while the remaining segments represent the tibia. This 

 opinion was first broached by Craveilbiei ("Anat. Deserip.," t. i., p. 315), 

 and I believe., when we come to examine the soft parts, we will find these 

 correspondences to be indicated with precision and clearness. 



Ir may assist in the subsequent hoinologarin of the muscles if we 

 place in a tabular form the bony correspondences of the limbs in 

 man; but it must be recollect i that these points are not representative 

 one of another, bnt that both the upper ana lower limb borjes are repre- 

 sentatives of these parts in a typical limb : —
