on to the fact that the tendonof the flexor longus hallucis was completely independentof the tendon of the flexor perforans digitorum pjro-fundus in the Passeres ; and in view of this fact hegrouped these birds together, and as the Hoopoe (Upupa)exhibited the same condition, he included that form withthem. Garrod pushed the matter much further, however,and made some very extensive dissections upon the deepplantar tendons in a great many different orders of birds. Irrespective of the plan of the foot, in all birds, in sofar as its digits are concerned, there are two musclespresent in the leg, which, arising from the tibia andfibula, send each a tendon to the toes a,^ flexors: thesemuscles are the flexor longus hallucis and the flexorperfoi^ans digitorum profundus. In passing through orover the hypotarsus of the tarso-metatarsus, at the backof the ankle-joint, the tendon of iho, flexor longus hal-lucis is either superflcial or external to the tendon of theother flexor mentioned. ^^^^a^.

The under side of theobturator intcrnios may be seen through the obturator space, and itstendon surrounded by the gemellus attached to the trochanter of thefemur. The tibia has been rotated in order to bring its posteriorsurface into view, and show the muscles there found; the tibialcartilage is seen at its distal extremity.
