 IS moie laterally compressed at the condyles, and the bridge over the 

 groove of the extensor tendons is placed more obliquefy than in 

 Crcoma, while there is no intercondylar tubercle. The under- 

 mentioned type of humerus comes nearer to that of Tantalus than to 

 tha of Cjcouuc but has a still more developed ridge overhanging^ the 

 subtrochantenc fossa, and in the still deeper groo%e below LlTal 

 tor the coraco-humeral ligament approximates to Ibis, with which 

 It aho agrees in the triangular section of the proximal part of the
