Radius. — n, its upper head; o, protuberance for the insertion of the tendon of the biceps; r, its lower extremity. Ulna.— s, the oleeranon process; t, its articulation with the humerus ; u, continuation of the bone which in aged horses becomes united with the radius. Bones of the carpus.— w, Scaphoides ; .r, Lnnare ; y, Cuneiforme; z, Pisiforme or Orbieulare; 2, Os maguuni; 3, Uacifurme. Metacarpus.— 4, 5. The great metacarpal or cannon bone. 0, 7. Rudimentary external nietacar- pal bone. 10, 11. Sesamoid bones. Fore-foot. 12, 13. Pronimal phalanx or great pastern bone. 14, 15. Middle phalanx or lesser pastern or coronary bone. 16. Terminal phalanx or coffin-bone. 17. Sesamoid bone. The metacarpal tones are in the horse con- solidated into one large piece, called by farriers the shank or cannon bone, and two smaller supplementary pieces, which seem merely ap- pendages to the former. The large cannon bone (./?£. 498. 4, 5.) is formed by the union of two metacarpal bones indissolubly conjoined, — viz. of those which support the ring and middle fingers in the human hand; these conjoined, here form
