THE TIBIA 



Of all the human bones from the Broken Hill cave, a clavicle and 

 the tibia only have been mentioned as having been seen more or less 

 in the vicinity of the skull and could conceivably belong to the same 

 skeleton ; it is therefore incumbent on the student to give these speci- 

 mens careful attention. The collar-bone, however — if such it was — 

 has not been saved. 



The tibia was studied first by Keith, and recently by Pycraft who 

 compared it with a Bantu til)ia and found it more primitive in some 

 respects, especially about the mesial condjde. If he had compared it 

 with a fairly large series of male negro tibiae he would probably have 

 found, as does the writer, that not only does it not possess a single 

 character which is not within or close to the normal range of variation 

 of the negro, but that, in addition, it is remarkably negro-like in its 

 distinctive features, differing correspondingly from other recent and 

 especially from all the known early tibiae. 



The tibia is that of the left side of a rather tall male adult of 

 evidently middle or slightly beyond middle age. The bone is long and, 

 relatively to its length, rather slender ; all the known early tibiae are 

 short, squatty.
