The posterior branch isunited by its lower extremity to the superiorand posterior part of the tibia, and by itsupper end to the notch between the condyles and to the internal Posterior Ligament is practically the posterior section of thecapsular ligament of the femoro-tibial articulation. It is attached to thefemur, behind and above the condyles, and to the posterior part of thehead of the tibia, just below its articular margin. It joins the lateralligaments, uniting the femur and tibia on either side, and its inner faceis lined by synovial membrane. The Interarticular Fibro-eartilages are the creseentic pieces ofdense fibro-cartilage upon which the condyles of the femur are made to.

THE ARTICULATIONS OF THE TARSUS OR HOCK-JOINT rest on the head of the tibia or second thigh. They are hollowed outabove for the reception of the condyles, for which they form a bed. Theouter cartilage is attached in front to the base of the spine on the headof the tibia, and behind by two slips, one to the notch between the con-dyles, and the other to the upper and posterior part of the tibia. The inner cartilage is attached in front and behind to the base of the spine on thehead of the tibia. This joint possesses three synovial mem-branes, one of considerable extent enclosingthe articular surf
