The fourth tarsal is remarkably high, and resembles a quadrangular prism; its proximal surface i articulates wiih the fibular tarsal, its distal with the fourth and fifth metatarsal, I and the medial with the central and third tarsal bones. A groove for the tendon of I the peroneus longus crosses its lateral and plantar surface, and above it are one or two tubercles. The tuber calcis fuses with the body of the bone at fourteen or fifteen months. Five metatarsal bones are present. The first is commonlj' verj- small and has the form of a blunt cone, somewhat compressed laterally. It articulates with the.
