SKELETAL REMAINS 



51 



Torsion and inclination of neck moderate. Linea aspera rather 

 pronounced but not abnormal. The bones are quite strong. The 

 shaft presents a well-marked upper subtrochanteric flattening, as is 

 common in the femora of Indians. There is on each femur a rough, 

 long, low elevation in the location where the so-called third trochan- 

 ter is sometimes found. This low ridge represents a muscular inser 

 tion (glutens max.), and its marked development is a sign of mus 

 cular activity. 



Tibiae. Maximum length of left tibia, minus spine, about 35.7 cm. 

 Right tibia, broken. Bones of medium masculine strength, showing 

 neither in form nor in inclination of head anything abnormal. 



Fibulce in fragments, no unusual features. 



Humeri. Length (maximum) of right, nearly 32.0 cm.; left, 

 defective (part lost). No unusual torsion. There was apparently a 

 bilateral moderate perforation of the fossa. 



Radii. Length (maximum) of left, 25.4 cm.; right, broken. The 

 length of the radius as compared with the humerus is somewhat 

 greater than in whites, but such proportion is not rare in Indians. 



Ulna in fragments, no special features. 

 . All the bones of the upper extremity are somewhat slender. 



Pelvis much damaged, but enough remains to indicate that it was 

 rather small and masculine. The superior semicircular lines are 

 represented by a marked elevation.

As these measurements show, the shaft of the tibia as well as the 

 humerus is somewhat flattened. 



The height of the individual, judging from the long bones, by 

 Manouvrier s tables, & was about 1.65 m.
