Fig.	Page
11	25	View of the skeleton of a foot so deformed, from above. The joints of the toes look shorter here than in the healthy foot (Fig. 1), because, on account of the toes being curved, they are apparently diminished in length.
12	26	Sole of a woman about twenty; the second toe is pressed upwards and is therefore not visible.
13	26	Sole of the foot of a girl somewhat younger; the second toe is not seen here either, and the rest of the toes are also pressed into an opposite and wrong direction.
14	26	Apparently healthy sole of a young man nineteen years of age, in which, however, a false direction of the great toe may be observed.
		Note.—The two Figures 12 and 13, as well as Figures 3 and 9, I owe to Dr. Albrecht Clans, who was kind enough to sketch them from bodies lately coming before him as anatomical subjects; I have to thank the same gentleman for the drawings of Figures 4 and 14. It would have been easy to increase very considerably the number and varieties of examples of deformities.
15	31	The nail of the great toe in its healthy state. The dotted line shows the extent to which the nail is connected under the skin.
16	31	The nail of the great toe pushed obliquely on one side,—a, inflamed margin of the fold of skin pressed outwards,—b in this and the immediately preceding Figure is explained in the text.
17	32	Transverse section through the distal phalanx of the great toe with a healthy nail.
18	32	Transverse section of the anterior joint of the great toe with the outer edge of the nail bent up, ("growing-in nail.")
19	34	Bones of a foot in which the joint at the root of the great toe is very much distorted inwards, inflammatory exudations forming bony prominences are also apparent; seen from above.
20	37	Sole of a shoe unusually broad in the fore part, showing that in a sole of this kind also the great toe has a false position, that is to say, c d instead of a b,
21	40	Design for the construction of a proper sole. Explanation in text.
