Chapter III, continued [trochanter?] is at "right angles to the shaft" of femur Page 43 line 6, For "Hip joint", read Great [Trochanter?] Page 43 line 11, For "patella" read triceps, or tendons inserted into patella Page 43 line 19, While it is possible that a muscle may [occur?] [by?] 8 inches on the surface and yet be only 15 inches in circumference, some explanation would not be out of place. Page 43 line 27, For "this muscle", read the glutaeus. Page 44 line 13, For "overlay", read overlie. Page 44 line 21, For "abstract" read simple. Page 44 line 10-20, For "insertion at the head of the tibia" read attachment to [fascia?] covering the calf. How can the [semitendniosus?] overlie the calf and at the same time be attached to the head of the tibia? Page 44 line 5, I do not well understand this matter of the rear muscles employing so great a proportion of their force in supporting weight. In the fore quarters it is evident that the body is slung up between the [two?] fore legs with its full weight hanging directly upon the great [serratus?]. But in the

Chapter III hind quarter nothing similar [occurs?]. The weight rests directly upon the pelvis and bones of the hind legs, while the 'locomotive' muscles act as supporters only as they restrain the bones from flexing on the thigh, knee, hock, [etc?]. If it is meant that these muscles support the whole body while in motion, including the fore quarters, by forming a continuous band with the glutaei [and?] [ilio-spinalis?], so that the animal, as it were, sits down upon the rear muscles, I still fail to see that they are properly suporters to any greater extent than keeping the bones in place.

Page 45 line 25, After "VII)" insert (which whould not be confounded with [Chauveauis?] long adductor mentioned on page 40.) Page 46 line 13, For "Symphasis", read symphysis Page 46 line 12, The Gracilis does not show in the plate nearly "as broad as it is long"; nor is the great adductor clearly distinguished from it. Page 47 line 33, The difference between the patella

[Chap.?] III, Continued. in man and horse is not made clear Page 49 line 6, The word "metatarsus" occurs for the first time and naturally suggests a tarsus preceeding it, but no tarsus appears any where either in text or plate. Nor is the metatarsus explained farther than to say "or cannon-bone", but it includes the splints beside the cannon bone. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd metatarsals [are?] not pointed out in plate II, or elsewhere, as identical with [cannon (and splint)?], [pastern?] and bones of foot. I should say [define?] them once and then use the popular terms uniformly. "Second and third metatarsals" is new to me and certainly more ponderous than digit. Page 44 line 25, "[Tricepts?] femoris"; italicized, contrary to usage of book. Page 48 line 20, "[Gastroanemii?]" Why plural, when gluteus, [vastus?], [etc.?] in the context are singular? Page 50 line 6, Before "changes" insert some word such as equal or corresponding. Page 50 line 17, The [popliteus?] is nowhere described though well shown in Plate X.

Chap III. Continued Page 50 line 20, For "[calcaneum?]" read [hock?]. [Calcaneum?] has not been defined. Page 51 line 17, Does "[intermediate?]" mean occupying the middle place in the group? Page 51 line 14, There is nothing to show what this group "the second thigh" includes. Page 51 line 18, After "place" insert the other members of this group are the Flexor Metatarsi and the Lateral and Anterior Extensors; or perhaps better transfer the paragraph, P51,[ln?]14-18, to previous page, before "the [perforans?] muscle [etc?]". Page 52 line 5, "[Sesanoid?]" is a term not used before and not explained. The author indicates a disagreement with other writers, (as also at P.48,l.4), but does not explain it. Page 53 line 10, Does the [pastern?], in the correct use of geometric terms, form an "acute" angle with the [metatarsus?]? The [pastern?] extended doubtless would do so. Page 56 line 14, "Tarsal" used for first time, without explanation by text or plate. The context however implies its meaning. Page 57 line 5, For "XIV,XV" read XXXVI, XXXVII Page 58, In consideration of the fact that the

Chap III, Continued - hind leg is never anything like straight, would it not be well to explain what is meant by the limb passing the perpendicular? Does it pass the perpendicular when the hoof is directly under the hip joint, or when the metatarsus is vertical? How does it appear that the whole of the force is at any time expended in bearing the weight. See note on p 44 above.

Page 53 line 6, Why should not the Suspensory Ligament, important as it is, be carefully identified in Plate X?

Chapter IV. Page 69 line 35, "[Complxns?]" nowhere explained. Page 69 line 70, It is not made entirely clear whether the two prominences low on a horse's breast are the Little pectorals, or branches of the Mastoids [humeralis?]. Page 70 line 23, A line or two above it is assumed that the upper end of this [oar?] is stationary "a fixture," now it is [?] that the lower the force the more rapid the motion of the upper end of the [oar?] - ?
