The body of the ileum joins the ischitim and pubis at a very obtuse angle, the cotyloid cavity being excavated in the usual manner in the line of junction between the three bones. Fig. Ligaments of the anterior extremity of the Horse. a, a, Ligaments of the scapula; b, capsular liga- ment of the shoulder-joint; h, radial nerve; k, cap- sule of elbow-joint; d, d, d, e, e, e, ligaments of the elbow, carpus, and phalanges; o, outer cartilage of the hoof; p, inner cartilage of the hoof. The femoris in the Solipeda is very strong and massive, with well developed tro- chanters, and prominent ridges for the attach- ment of the muscles implanted into it: it is however so short as to be entirely concealed within the flesh and integuments of the trunk, so that what is ordinarily designated the thigh in these quadrupeds is in reality the muscular portion of the leg. Inferiorly the articulating surface that sustains the patella is no longer, as in the human subject, continuous with that of the knee-joint, but forms a distinct articu- lation upon which the patella (_/%.) plays during the movements of the leg.
