WHOLE VOL. SKELETAL REMAINS OF EARLY MAN — HRDLICKA I97 



The clavicle. — The clavicle was slender, its shaft near the acromion 

 rather angular. The fragment is too small to permit of other determi- 

 nations. 



The fibulae. — There are two pieces of the shaft of the fibula that 

 may belong to skeleton i ; they are both of but moderate strength. 



Skeleton No. 2 



The humeri. — Clearly a pair, and both masculine ; the right very 

 perceptibly the stronger at all points. The upper fourths are wanting. 

 The shafts resemble to a considerable degree those of No. i, but the 

 convexity of the mesial and lateral surfaces is less marked, and the 

 posterior surface is flat through a very large part of its extent. The 

 relative height of the lower portion of the shaft is less marked than 

 in the humeri of No. i, and approaches closely that of modern male 

 humeri of similar dimensions ; nevertheless there is a trace of such 

 relative highness of this part in the right bone. The deltoid tuberosity 

 is again poorly developed, the latissimus and pectoralis ridges well 

 marked ; the bicipital and muscular spiral groups are better repre- 

 sented than they are in humeri of No. i. The lower end and the 

 articular facet are in nearly all particulars as in man of today ; only the 

 olecranon fossa is larger, especially broader and deeper. There is 

 again as in No. i a marked depression above the capitulum, on each 

 side. No trace of a supracondyloid process appears on either bone. 

 Perforations of the olecranon fossa : Right, one small and one 

 minute ; left, two small with two minute. 



Measurements r. 1. 



Middle of the shaft : antero-post. diam 2.5 2.25 



Transverse diam 1.75 1.5 



The ulnae. — Present, head of right, upper two-fifths of left. Bones 

 clearly a pair, and masculine. Olecranon process decidedly more 

 massive than in whites of today. The horizontal part of the greater 

 sigmoid cavity is very perceptibly shallower than in modern bones. 

 The neck is strong, especially on the right side. The shaft of the 

 left bone as far as preserved shows quite a different shape from that 

 in the modern ulna ; the latter is prismatic, the former approaching 

 a biconvex. 



The scapulae. — Pieces only, of two scapulae, right and left, probably 

 of No. 2. Right piece : Glenoid cavity shallow, border very dull. 

 Left: Glenoid shallow, border less dull. 



The femora. — The left femur, except for damage to the great 

 trochanter, is in general very near in all its characteristics to that of
