Abstract
THERE is little to be said in answer to Prof. Wood Jones's remarks on this subject1; but I can assure him I overlooked neither of the facts he thinks I did. I gave him the credit for the interesting discovery, previously only an inference from what was known of the skeleton of the foot, that the sesamoid bone in question has a special muscular arrangement whereby it can be moved.
