879-80. Bones of the foot of an adult ; articulated, and consist- ing of an os calcis, astragalus, a protuberance that may represent the scaphoid, and a metatarsal bone ; all co- ossified into one mass, and somewhat irregularly though fully developed. Phalanges lost. Lower half of the ..leg in connection, and well formed.

882. Fusion throughout, of the second and third toes ; nails very close, but separate. From an adult. The other foot was similarly affected ; and the web between the second and third fingers of each hand extended nearly to the sec- ond phalanx. The other fingers and toes were normal ; in spirit.
In the mother all of the toes were similarly affected ; in a sister the same, besides a union of two fingers, and in her son, the same fusion of the toes. 1864.
