The two cuneiforms are joined by means of a small articular surface. The fibrous fasciculi wbicli maintain the diartbrodial surfaces in contact are somewhat numerous. They are as follows; 1. The astragalo-metatarsal ligament and tarso-metatarsal apparatus, which will be described hereafter; these two bands do not properly belong to the articulations of the second row of bones. 2.

The two cuneiforms are joined by means of a small articular surface. The fibrous fasciculi wbicli maintain the diartbrodial surfaces in contact are somewhat numerous. They are as follows; 1. The astragalo-metatarsal ligament and tarso-metatarsal apparatus, which will be described hereafter; these two bands do not properly belong to the articulations of the second row of bones. 2. Two anterior ligaments, named cuhoido-scapJioid and ciiboido-cunean (Figs. 93, 8; 94, 5), which are carried from the cuboid to the scaphoid and to the great cuneiform bone, one above, the other below the vascular channel formed between these three bones. 3. Two interosseoiis ligaments analogous to the preceding two, forming the sui^erior and inferior walls of the aforesaid channel. 4. An interosseous scaphoido-cunean liga- ment, passing from the scaphoid to the two cuneiform bones. 5. An interosseous ligament, named the intercunean, is directed from one cuneiform bone to the other, and is confounded with the preceding ligament. The disposition of the lubricating mem- branes varies with that of the articular facets. The following is what is most generally observed:—A proper synovial membrane is specially destined for the facets by which the scaphoid and great cuneiform bones correspond; this synovial membrane belongs also to the two cuboido-scaphoid and posterior cuboido-cunean arthrodije. The anterior cuboido-scaphoid diai'- throsis receives a jn-olongation from the syno- vial membrane of the two rows. The play of the anterior cuboido-cunean and intercunean facets is facilitated by two prolongations of the tarso-metatarsal synovial membrane. Movements almost null. Aeticulation of the two Eows with each OTHER.—This arthrodial joint is formed by the union of the calcis and the astragalus, on the one side, with the scaphoid and cuboid bones on the other. Its
