According to statistics drawn up by Cornevin, the return to the pentadacty- lous type is much more frequently manifested, in Solipeds, in the anterior than the posterior limbs. Article YI.—Posterior or Pelvic Limbs. Each of these is divided, as already noted, into four secondary regions : the pelvis, thigh, leg, and foot. Pelvis (Figs. 83, 84, 85).
