    Of the Elbow Joint, The Elbow Joint has a capsular ligament arising from the upper margin of the articular surface of the os humeri including its sigmoid cavities, and inserted into the margin of the articular surface of the ulna, and into the coronary ligament of the radius. This capsule has additional fibres internally, and externally, called Lateral Ligaments, or Brachio-Ulnar, and Brachio-Radial. The first arises from the internal condyle, and spreads in a radiated manner to be in- serted into the inner edge of the coronoid and ole- cranon process. The second arises from the external condyle, and is inserted into the coronary ligament of the radius. The Coronary Ligament of the Radius arises from one side of the sigmoid cavity of the coronoid process of the ulna, and surrounding the neck of the radius it is inserted into the other side of the same cavity. Its upper margin is blended with the capsular liga- ment and the lower is loosely attached to the root of the neck of the radius. On the anterior and posterior surfaces of the capsule of the elbow joint, there are small and irregular fibres termed accessary ligaments, but the capsule is partial-
