    Of the Sefamoidean Bones. In the middle the Tibia and Fibula hold a gaping di- ftancc one from another, by reafon of the Mufcles of the Feet there placed , in which fpace a thin broad Ligament joyns thefe Bones together , according to their longitude, his joyned alfo to the Tibia , by a common Ligament , a- borc and beneath. Beneath, the Head becoming fliarp, hath an Appendix, which growing thick, begets a procefs called MalLsehs ex¬ terms tire outer Anklc-bonc which is lower than the inner Ankle-bone. The Bones of the Foot are divided as the Bones of the Hand, into three parts: into the Tarfus,Metattrcfus, and the Toes.. The Bones of the Tarfus ire/Itten, though feme number only the hft four to be in the Tarfus, becaafe the three firft have no Bones in the Hand anfwcring to them. I. It’s cal’d Aflragalosy in Latine Talus , and commonly Os Balijlx the Sling»bone, alfo £?uttrio, becauic cf its four tides. 'Jis placed .beneath the (hank bones as a Bafis or foun¬ dation : foi it is joyned with the Appendix of the Tibia by way of Ghglmts; wherefore they have upon a long Neck, an high, round, and fmooth Head , covered over with a Griftle, in the middle whereof is a fmooth C vity : where¬ upon it comes to have on each fide a brim cr brow , iike a fully or little w heel on which a Hope runs. At the tides it receives on each hand the Ankle-bones: it's alfo joyned with the Os naviculare ; alfo below to the Heel, with a double joynt, where its lower part is uneven, twice hollowed, and thrice bunched. It receives the Head of the Heel-bone. In tlje middeftof thee Joynts a Cavity Is to be obfer- •ved (to which the hollow of the Heel anlyvers ) where-, in is contained fat and a flimy fubftince , to moiften the , griftly Ligaments, which kmc the Talus to the Bone, lev It1 in their motion they fhould be dried. Hence 1 have ob¬ served as often as there is fc irfity of this moifl and fat 1 Subftsnce or none at all, either by means of a wound in that place, or any other caufc, that there is a noife in a mans Fooc when he walks, by the knocking of the two bones one agatnft another, yet without pain, becaufe there 35 greater or middlcfiafd, and a leiTer from a broad Bafis grow¬ ing by little an’i little fmalier and fmaller. The Bones of the Metatarfus or Sole, arc five knit to the B ines of the Tarfus; thofe of the Toes arc fourteen ; becaufc the great Toe is made up only of two Bones, and the Inter- jun&ures are fhorter than in the Hind, but thofe of the great Toe, thicker than in the Hand. The other are like the Bones in the Hand which anfwcr to them; as the Ligaments alfo commonly anfwer. But under the folcof the Foot, the Skin and Fat being removdjthcrc is a Ligament broad and ilrong; and from the l«wcft Bone of the Heel Sifamoidean little bones are inferred into all the ranks of Toes, for the greater firmnefs of the whole Foot. Chap. XXII. and lad. Of the Sefamoidean Bones* JN the Incerjuixfturcs of the Hand1, and Feet are found cer¬ tain very little Bones called Sefaminis or S<famine* be¬ cauic they anfwer in iikenefs to Scfaraus Seed* and alfo in their ImalJncfs. They arc round and a little flit. Then fhapt. They are lefs in the Feet than in the Hands, Magnitude, excepting in the great Toe, becaufe it is great¬ er than the Thumb is. In ancient perfem they are sreiter and a little plane. * They grow to the Tendons cf the Mufcles 1 Situation, which move the Toes, under which they lie | concealed wrapt up in the Ligaments , fo that they come away with them in the clenfing of the Bones uniefo great Care be ultd. Sometimes they are griftly, as in Children, In -hxh they are not very coafpicuous; otherwhiles bony , covered with G. idles, and inwardly Spungy and porous. They are commonly twelve in number in each Foot and Hand, but fometimes fixteen, nineteen, twenty and more; fometimes there are only rcn. They are more in number , is no gaments. II.
