There are two flexor tendons of the pha- langes,—namely, the superf,dal (perfo- ratus tendon) and the deep (perforans tendon). 1. The superficial flexor ox perforatus tendon (Figs. 15, 6, and 16, a, b) lies behind, immediately under the skm, and covers the deep flexor or perfo- rans tendon. At the gliding surface between the sesamoid bones (Fig. 15,/) it broadens, and forms a ring or tube (Fig. 15, h') through which the perforans tendon {a'") passes, while a short dis- tance farther down it bifurcates, or divides into two branches (Figs. 15, b", and 16, 6), which terminate, one on either side, partly on the inferior lateral borders of the first phalanx and partly on the fibro-cartilage of the second phalanx. It acts simultaneously on the long and short pasterns. Right forefoot seen from behind: a, lower end of the perforans tendon, cut through and hanging down, so that its anterior surface is visible; a', lower expanded end (plantar aponeurosis) of this tendon, which attaches itself to the semilunar crest of the os pedis; a", shallow groove which receives the slight elevation on the under surface of the navicular bone; a'", piece of the perforans tendon enclosed by the ring formed by the perforatus tendon; 5, perforatus tendon bent over backward so that its anterior surface is visible; V, ring of the perforatus tendon; 6", terminal branches of the same; the perforans tendon passes through the space between these two branches; e, navicular bone; d, suspensory ligament of the same; e, smooth surface on the os coronae over which the perforans tendon glides;/, the smooth groove (sesamoid groove) on the posterior surface of the interaesamoid ligament for the gliding of the perf
