Who was the mother of James the Less and Joses?

In the earlier parts of their narratives, Matthew ([xiii, 55]) and Mark ([vi, 3]) declare them to be sons of the Virgin Mary and brothers of Jesus. Paul ([Gal. i, 19]) affirms that James was the brother of Jesus. Later Matthew ([xxvii, 56]) and Mark ([xv, 40]) state that James and Joses were sons of Mary, the sister of the Virgin.
