broad. The pubic foramen is large, oval in shape, with a long- 

 diameter of 49 mm. and a short diameter of 35 mm. 



The pubic plate is long, comparatively narrow and thin the 

 lateral border sharply rounded and concave, the medial border thin 

 and straight. At the distal end the plate widens and thickens, so 

 that the distal surface is 70 mm. long and 40 mm. wide. At its 

 narrowest part the plate is 55 mm. wide. 



Femur. The right femur is markedly S-shaped and strongly 

 bowed, the anterior face being convex. The length is between 535 

 mm. and 540 mm. The head of the bone is missing. Above the 

 level of the trochanter major the outer edge curves regularly to the 

 proximal surface and is parallel to the inner edge. The top of the 

 trochanter major lies 100 mm. from the proximal surface. The 

 upper end of the fourth trochanter is 175 nun. from the proximal 

 end and the lower end about 200 mm. so that the trochanter lies 

 wholly in the proximal half of the bone. 



The distal end is 97 mm. broad. The inner edge is 110 mm. 

 long, the outer edge 115 mm. The inner condyle is thicker than 

 the outer, and the sulcus between them is deep and narrow. The 

 ridge running from the outer condyle to the posterior face of the 

 bone is longer and more prominent than that from the inner 

 condyle. 



Tibia. Dr. van Hoepen has pointed out that the figure given by 

 Dr. Broom and designated "outer view of left tibia" is in reality an 

 inner view of the right tibia. 



The proximal end of the tibia seems to be somewhat flattened 

 from side to side and its width was possibly somewhat greater than 

 the 71 mm. given by Broom. The highest point of the bone lies 

 a little in advance of the anterior corner on the antero-medial 

 border. Instead of the medial border of the proximal end having 

 a regularly convex outline its middle portion is concave, as shown 

 in the figure. The lateral border has a pronounced concavity be- 

 tween the tuberositas tibiae and the lateral condyle. The anterior 

 half of the proximal surface is concave; the posterior portion is 

 also concave, and the two concavities are separated by a saddle. 

 The medial border is higher than the lateral. The shaft narrows 

 very rapidly below the articular surface and expands but slightly 

 distally, increasing only in width and not in thickness. Below the 

 proximal articular surface the lateral face is broadly grooved long- 

 itudinally, and separated from the posterior face by a rounded ridge 

 which carries a small boss of bone. The anterior proximal edge of 

 the bone is rugose.
