The second is the longest; the othersdiminish gradually to the fifth. Their shafts pre-sent in the greater part of their extent a prominent borderlooking upwards, which in the middle three appears onthe back of the foot between the dorsal interosseousmuscles on each side. Their heads are elongated fromabove down, and terminate below in two small projec-tions ; on each side is a tubercle and depression for theattachment of the lateral ligament.
