The femur has at its proximal end a prominent head for articulation with the acetabulum, external to this a prominent process, the great trochanter, and internally a much smaller, the lesser trochanter, while a small process or third trochanter is situated on the outer border a little below the great trochan- ter. At its distal end are two prominences or condyles, with a depres- sion between them. Op- posite the knee-joint, or articulation between the femur and the tibia, is a small bone or knee-cap, the patella. The tibia has at its proximal end two articular surfaces for the condyles of the fe- mur ; distally it has also two articular surfaces, one, internal, for the astragalus, the other for the calcaneum. The fibula is a slender bone which becomes completely fused distally with the tibia. The tarsus consists of six bones of irregular shape arranged in two rows, one of the bones, the navicular (Fig. 303, nav), being intercalated between the two acel istfi pub Fig. 302. — Lepus cuniculus Innominate bones and sacrum, ventral aspect. acet, acetabulum; il, ilium; isch, ischium; obt, obturator foramen; pith, pubis; sacr, sacrum; sy, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Parker, T.
