well proportioned. The Scotsman's s
foot, according to these authorities, is
high and thick, strong, muscular and
capable of hard work. The Russians s

toes being generally webbed. to the

and heavy, the foot of a certain type
of savage, and the toes are the same

short and rather feshy, and not as a
