On the Right Side. 



At the proximal end of the femur. Distance 

 between the lateral surface of the lateral 

 (larger) trochanter, And the digito-mesial 

 margin of the globular surface of articula- 

 tion with the acetabulum (the head) . . 



At the proximal end of the femur. Smallest 

 distance between the lateral smooth surface 

 immediately digitad from the lateral (larger) 

 trochanter, And the mesial smooth surface 

 connecting the globular articulation of the 

 bone with the mesial (smaller) trochanter 



3-45 



Smallest distance between the lateral And 

 the mesial surfaces of the femur; interve- 

 ningly to the proximal and the digital ends 

 of the bone 1*80 



At the digital end of the femur. Distance be- 

 tween the lateral And the mesial smooth 

 surfaces of the rostral projection grooved 

 proximo-digitally rostrad for the motion of 

 the patella 1-98 



At the digital end of the femur. Distance 

 between the smooth lateral surface of the 

 enlargement immediately over the lateral 

 condyle. And the mesial margin of the 

 mesial condyle 4'60

On the Right Side. 



At the proximal end of the femur. Distance 

 from the rostral scabrous surface of the 

 (larger) lateral trochanter, To the caudo- 

 mesial margin of the (mesial) opening of 

 the cavity within the trochanter . . . 2'30 



At the proximal end of the femur. Smallest 

 distance from the rostral To the caudal 

 surface of the flattening of the bone that 

 unites the globular articulation with the 

 lateral and the mesial trochanters (the 

 cervix) 1'28 



At the proximal end of the femur. Distance 

 from the rostral To the caudal surface of 

 the globular articulation with the acetabu- 

 lum (the head) 2'22 



Smallest distance, interveningly to the proxi- 

 mal and the digital ends of the bone, from 

 the rostral smooth surface of the femur, 

 To the opposite caudal ridge of the linea 

 aspera 1'56 



At the digital end of the femur. Distance 

 from the lateral rostro-digital margin of 

 the patellar groove, To the opposite caudal 

 surface of articulation of the lateral con- 

 dyle 4*66 



At the digital end of the femur. Distance 

 from the hollow of the patellar groove, To 

 the opposite caudal surface disuniting the 

 lateral and the mesial condyles . . . 3'33 



At the digital end of the femur. Distance 

 from the mesial rostro-digital margin of 

 the patellar groove. To the opposite caudal 

 surface of articulation of the mesial con- 

 dyle 4-93
