 and posterior angles divides the height equally, while in B. mus- 

 culus only about one-third of the height is above that line. The 

 anterior border is shorter than the posterior, measured straight 

 from either the end or the middle of the edge of the glenoid cavity. 

 In B. musculus the anterior border is longer than the posterior 

 taken from the ends of the glenoid cavity, owing apparently to the 

 presence of the large coracoid and acromion processes. The

strongly and nearly uniformly arched form of the upper margin 

 would be diminished in the more mature state, judging by the out- 

 line of the cartilage shown in the figures of Eschricht (xvii. p. 79) 

 and that of Van Beneden and Gervais (PI. X. and XI. fig. 6). 

 These imply that the posterior angle would be elongated, and 

 the upper border near it filled up and more flattened by farther 

 ossification. The figure of Rudolphi (Taf i. fig. 1) shows this 

 to some extent. But the cartilage in B. musculus would also
