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 

 vertebrae, 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, rum f)fi'>o'>a efft ?"-=> }-^il

 mesial plane, is equal to the greatest length of the head.
