Besides the pedal and navicular bones, there are alsotwo cartilaginous plates at the back of each ala of the pedal bone,which are of considerable importance. These have been called bythe late Professor Coleman the lateral and inferior cartilages,whilst others have given them the name of the true and lateral cartilages extend backwards and outwards from theposterior and upper borders of the coiSn or pedal bone.
