The TaUu (a.) is a very irregular Bone • it is Protuberant be« 
hind from the ylfragaltu 4 f inches. This Protuberance ,is in 
circumference at the Extremity 10 Inches, and at its Neck g In- 
ches: Below it is very rugous on the infide. It fends forth a 
Protuberance, which is received by th e Afiragdus, as in Human 
Subjcds. it has three remarkable Surfaces ^ viz., one upon which 
the Ajlragalus reds, at its upper fide; one at the fore-part, 
articulated with the OJfa Cnneiformia ; and the outfide, for the 
Fibula. It weighs 1 t'5. 
The Os Naviculare is 10 \ Inches in Circumference, one Inch 
thick, concave behind (7.) where it receives the JfiragalHs, and 
convex before, with its different Surfaces ($.) viz., one where- 
by it is artieulated with the Bone of the Toe on the inffde, and 
one for each of the three Wedge-ltkg Bones. It weighs 4 f . 
The Bones of the fecond Rank of the T'arfm are call’d the 
Three Wid.ge dike Bones, two of which are articulated at the 
back-part with the Os Naviculare, as is faid, and the third partly 
with the T alus? and partly with the Os Naviculare \ each of 
them is about .1 Inch thick : That on the inner Side (4 .) is the 
lead, being from the Right to the Left one Inch thick, in Weight 
5»(5 : The middle 2 Inches ($.) in weight §»)’; and that on the 
outfide ( 6 . ) 3 £ Inches, in weight \iij. This laft has two Sur- 
faces at the fore-part, whereby ’tis articulated with the two 
utmoft Bones of the Metatarfm. The middle Bone of the Tar/us 
being only receiv’d by the middle Bone of the Metatar/tts. 
: The External Bone of the Metatar fm is very irregular : It is ar- 
ticulated behind with the External Os Cuneiform e, where 'tis 
about 2 Inches from above to below •, from whence fits Exter- 
nal Surface being very rugous ) it becomes gradually finaller* 
being fomewhat Concave below, and Protuberant above, till it 
terminates in a round Extremity. In Weight 
The fecond is a ftiort thick Bone, 8 Inches in Circumference, 
and 2 7 Inches long j in weight This receives the firft Bone 
of the Toe, which is 4 i Inches in Circumference, and 2 long; 
and receives the fecond Bone of the fame Toe, being 3 in Circum- 
ference, and 1 i long ; greater at its upper, and fmaller at its lower 
Extremity, to which is affix’d a fmall Bone. 1 hefe Weigh iiifi. 
The middle Bone of the tJMetatarftss is thelargeft of allthofe 
. belonging to the Toe, being 7 Inches round, and 5 long ; yiij in 
Weight. It receives the firft Bone of the Toe, which is 4! In- 
ches round, and 2 - long ; to which alfo is join’d another ImaU
