'Original measurements, 1912. 



' ReRular prismatic, with the medial-anterior and lateral surfaces convex. 



* Probable transposition of figures. The right bone is throughout larger. The excess of the right 

 epicondylar breadth over the left is well shown also in the casts. 



* Probably excessive. 



' The slight differences between the measurements by the two observers are doubtless due to 

 slight differences in method. The cast, which as usual is slightly larger than the original in all 

 dimensions, measures 1.2s x 1.60. The measurements I take are: for the transverse — the maximum; 

 for the antero-posterior — the bone so placed that its sharp medial border is midway between the 

 branches of the sliding compass. 



riorly between the anterior-inferior spine of the ilium and the ilio- 

 pectineal eminence broader and deeper, and the eminence itself more 

 pronounced, than in modern ilia. The articular part of the acetabulum 

 is decidedly less extensive antero-superiorly, and forms in consequence
