Irrespective of the plan of the foot, in all birds, in sofar as its digits are concerned, there are two musclespresent in the leg, which, arising from the tibia andfibula, send each a tendon to the toes as flexors; thesemuscles are the flexor longus hallucis and the flexorperforans digitorum profundus. In passing through orover the hypotarsus of the tarso-metatarsus, at the backof the ankle-joint, the tendon of the flexor longus hal-lucis is either superficial or external to the tendon of theother flexor FIG. 65.—Outer aspect of the left pelvic limb of a Raven, showing the fourth ordeepest layer of muscles of the thigh and leg. The under side of theobturator intcrnus may be seen through the obturator space, and itstendon surrounded by the gemellus attached to the trochanter of thefemur. The tibia has been rotated in order to bring its posteriorsurface into view, and show the muscles there found; the tibialcartilage is seen at its distal extremity. Life-size, by the author, fromhis own dissections.
