IV are not unlike' those of the third. The shaft, in fully adult forms however, is, characterized by the prominent rugosity for tendinal attachment on the ulnar angle, while in young individuals it is less noticeable. The shaft is arched in the dorsal direction and the distal end is similar to that of Mc.
