Osteological Symmetry of the Camel. 533 
Of the Scapula. 
The scapula bears to the pelvis the relation of similar position 
in regard to the limbs, and also in some degree that of conformity. 
But as in the Camel this bone, towards the summits of the dorsal 
vertebrz, terminates in a thin tendinous expansion, the osseous 
boundary cannot be very accurately distinguished. 
The greatest breadth of this expansion is four times the 
greatest dimension of the glenoid cavity. 
The length of the spine of the scapula, which is also the 
greatest extent of the bone, is four times the distance of the 
termination of the process of the spine of the scapula over the 
glenoid cavity, from the furthest point on the margin of that 
cavity. : 
Of the Pelvis. 
The breadths of the pelvis rostrad from the acetabula are even 
numbers of proportional parts. The breadths caudad from the 
acetabula, including the acetabular breadth itself, are odd num- 
bers of proportional parts. 
The difference of the greatest and the smallest breadths of 
the pelvis caudad from the acetabula is one third of the greatest 
breadth rostrad from the acetabula: while the difference of the 
greatest caudal breadth and the acetabular breadth is half the 
difference of the greatest and the smallest rostral breadths. 
Again: The smallest rostral breadth of the pelvis equals its 
smallest mesial height from the union of the ossa pubis to the 
floor of the nerval canal of the sacrum.; quu brosse 
The chief dimensions of ihe pelvis: are identical with the chief 
dimensions of the head. | 
1. The greatest dimension of the pelvis, being through the 
mesial plane, is equal to the greatest length of the head. —
