IL Talipes Varus.—This is the most common variety ; consisting ofextension, adduction, and rotation of the foot—the rotation being anal-ogous to supination of the hand. The muscles of the calf and the ad-ductors of the foot are contracted; the heel is drawn up ; the toes turninwards; the outer edge of the foot rests on the ground; and, in pro-gression, weight is borne on the outside of the foot and on the outerankle, where adventitious bursoe usually form of some

The toesare extended, as in the former case. III. Talipes Valgus is the reverse of the preceding. There are ab-duction, rotation, and partial flexion of the foot ; the rotation beinganalogous to pronation of the hand. The front of the foot is raisedfrom the ground; and the patient rests on the inside of the instep, andon the inner ankle. The tendons of the peronei muscles are chiefly toblame. IV. Talipes Cal
