The astragalus and calcaneum conform to theordinary Ruminant type ; according to which, also, the naviculare {s)and cuboid {b) are confluent. The ectocuneiform (ce) is a broad flatbone supporting the moiety of the cannon-bone which answers tothe digitus medius {iii) : a small round sesamoid (5) at the back ofthis joint has not sufficiently distinctive characters to carry convic-tion as to its special homology. The outer half of the cannon-bone,or metatarsal of the fourth toe {iv), articulates with the cuboid partof the scapho-cuboid bone. The second digit (ii) and fifth digit (v)are represented solely by the rudiments of their middle and ungualphalanges (2 & 3). There are two large trochlear sesamoids {s)behind the metatarso-phalangeal joints of the two fully-developed Fig. 1. Fig. tv jaBones of fore-foot {Bison europaeus).
