Scaphoid hone (the large cuneiform of Percivall) (Figs. 98, 99).—Flattened above and below, it is described as having two faces and a circumference. The/aces, both articular, are furrowed by a channel of insertion, and are distinguished as superior and inferio'r. The first is concave, and articulates with the astragalus ; the second is convex, and in contact with the two cuneiform bones. The circumfefi'ence offers, outwardly, two small facets, which are adapted to similar facets on the cuboid bone. For the remainder of its extent, it is covered with imprints (Fig. 99). Greed Cuneiform hone (the middle cimeiform of Percivall) (Figs. 99,100,101).— Flattened above and below, and triangular in shape, this bone is much smaller than the scaphoid, though resembling it in a striking manner. Its superior face is in contact with the latter bone, and its inferior face articulates with the middle and internal lateral metatarsal bones. Its external horder is provided with one or two facets to correspond with the cuboid bone ; and its intei-nal horder ako shows one,.
