[116] These bones however have no connection with the marsupium, being
nearly equally developed in both male and female. They are simply
sesamoid bones forming ossifications in the inner tendon of the
external oblique muscle, and are developed as supports for the
abdominal wall. Very similar structures have been independently
developed in various Amphibians, Reptiles and monodelphian Mammals.

[124] In a _plantigrade_ animal the whole of the foot is placed on the
ground in walking. A _digitigrade_ animal places only its toes on the
ground. An intermediate condition is distinguished by the term
_subplantigrade_.
