Smallerthan those of the preceding set, they resemble them in form,with this difference, that their proximal extremities present, onthe articular surface, a slight middle elevation and two lateraldepressions, adapted to articulate with the condyles of the firstphalanges. The terminal or ungual phalanges, five in number, haveproximal extremities similar to those of the middle row, but witha depression in front, where the deep flexor tendon is taper towards their somewhat flattened and expanded freeextremities, which are rough and raised round the margins andupon the palmar aspect in the so-called ungual
