The long ligament of the calcis, taking its attachment from theprojection of the os calcis, and attached to the under part of the os cunei-forme and os cuboides. s. The tendon of the peroneus longus. The posterior part of the leg and the sole of the foot hav-ing been described, and the relative position of the severalparts considered, I have added the dissection of the liga-ments, and given a description of the several dislocations. When the dissector has removed the muscles, and othersoft parts of the inferior extremity, he may next proceed todissect the ligaments, and examine the interior of the hip, probably, may be the first, and the external liga-ment to be dissected will be capsular. The following sketch,however, is intended to illustrate the ligaments of the hip-joint. 42 the dissectors a. The capsular ligament of the head of the femur. b. The ligamentum teres. c. The acetabulum. d. The cotyloid cartilage. e. The cotyloid ligament. a. The capsular ligament, the largest and strongest of the articular lig-aments, arises round the outside of the brim of the acetabulum, embracesthe head of the thigh-bone, and incloses the whole of its cervix, as lar asthe root or outer extremity, round which it is firmly connected. Theouter part of the capsular ligament is extended farther down than theinner, is reflected back upon the neck of the bone, and, in certain parts,forms folds : it is not everywhere of the same strength ; it is thickest atits anterior and outer part, thinner where it is covered by the iliacusinternus, and thinnest posteriorly, where the adjacent quadratus isopposed to it. It is strengthened on its
