Antagonistic to this, is the Jlejcor carpi radialis (\±,fig. 352.), the tendon of which is connected to the base of the cannon bone behind. The tendons of the extensores digitorum longior (11) and bre- vior (12, fig. 352.) separate in front of the foot, the divisions of the former being inserted into the base of the ultimate bones of the toes, and those of the latter into the distal extremities of the penultimate phalanges. A muscle corresponding to the abductor pollicis (10) is present, notwithstanding the absence of the thumb, and becomes attached to the inner aspect of the inferior end of the cannon bone, ^hcjlexores carpi ulnaris externus (13) and internus (16, Jig. 352.) are both inserted into the pisiform bone. The tendons of the flexor digitorum sublimis (\o,fig- 352.) and of the flex, digit, profundus perforans remain dis- tinct, the latter piercing the former as usual, to be implanted into the base of the distal phalanges of either toe. Muscles of the haunch and hind-limb.—The glutens maximus (15, Jig. 349.), which is but feebly manifested in all quadrupeds, owing to the horizontal position of the body, has an in- significant development in ruminants. It rises from the crest of the ilium and sacral fascia, receiving in its pas
