. The cyclopædia of anatomy and physiology. Anatomy; Physiology; Zoology. Hind-foot of Trtonyx. a nail at its extremity, as well as the finger which is next it; the two following have their terminal phalanges large but without nails; the last phalanx of the little toe is very small. In the land-tortoises the analogue of the Fig. Hind-leg of Tortoise. astragalus is more bulky and thicker, whilst the fibular bone or analogue of the os calcis is proportionally smaller. The other four tarsal bones are present, and in this case that which supports the little finger seems to form one of the series, both from its position and its shape ; sometimes it supports a rudiment of a little toe consisting of one piece only, but in many species this is wanting. The metatarsal bone of the great toe is short but not flattened ; the others are a little longer: none of the four toes have more than two phalanges. In the Chelonian reptiles, the os hyoides varies very remarkably as to its form in.
