. Anatomy, descriptive and applied. Anatomy. Fig. 207.—Skeleton of the foot, internal border. (Poirier and Charpy.) from the ground, and from this point the bones arch over to the outer border, which is in contact with the ground, and, assisted by the longitudinal arch, pro- duce a sort of rounded niche on the inner side of the foot, which gives the appear- ance of a transverse as well as a longitudinal arch. The line of the foot, from the point of the heel to the toes, is not quite straight, but is directed a little outward, so that the inner border is a little convex and the outer border concave. This disposition of the bones becomes more marked when the longitudinal arch of the foot is lost, as in the condition known under the name of "; OLE CUNEIFORM ST METATARSAL. Fig. 20S.—Skeleton of the foot, external border. (Poirier and Charpy.) Surface Form.—On the dorsum of the foot the individual bones are not to be distinguished ?with the 'ception of the head of the astragalus, which forms a rounded projection in front of the ankle-joint when the foot is forcibly extended. The whole surface forms a smooth convex outline, the summit of which is the ridge formed by the head of the astragalus, the scaphoid, the middle cuneiform, and the second metatarsal bones; from this it gradually inclines outward and more rapidly inward. On the inner side of the foot, the internal tubercle of the calcaneus and the ridge separating the inner from the posterior surface of the bone may be felt most pos- teriorly. In front of this, and below the internal malleolus, may be felt the projection of the sustentaculum tali. Passing forward is the well-marked tuberosity of the scaphoid bone, situ- ated about an inch or an inch and a quarter in front of the internal malleolus. Further toward the front, the ridge formed by the base of the first metatarsal bone can be obscurely felt, and from this the shaft of the bone can be traced to the expanded head articulating wit
