    between the two slips of its origin. The tendon does not pass under the external malleolus, but on its outer side; it then passes through to the sole of the foot, between the naviculare and the head of the outermost metatarsal, the tendon dividing, one part being inserted into the navicular bone, the other running on between that bone and the head of the innermost metatarsal, to its inner side, where it seems to be inserted. The peroneus brevis extends from the outer margin of the fibula, and, passing as usual, has its tendon inserted into the distal end of the proximal phalanx of the outermost digit (fig. 12, P. b.).

The extensor brevis digitorum occupies the outer half of the dor- sum of the foot. It arises from the external lateral ligament, the astragalus, and os calcis, and ends in three digitations, each termi- nating in a minute tendon. These tendons are inserted into the outer sides of the proximal ends of the three proximal phalanges, and not alone into those of the two internal ones, as Meckel* records. * Loc. cit. p. 429. [21]
