The foot shows the origin of the mammahan os calcis, astragalus, and navicular: how that the astra- galus is the tibiale, alone and not the tibiale + intermedium as supposed by Gegenbaur, that the os calcis is nothing but the fibulare and not fibulare + fibulare sesamoideum as regarded by Allen Thomson, and how that the navicular is merely a slightly displaced os centrale. But what I wish especially to call attention to, is the peculiar de- velopment of the 1st carpale and 1st tarsale. So elongated are they that they might functionally be regarded as metacarpal and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Anatomische Gesellschaft.
