VERTEBRA 



Several dorsal and lumbar vertebra belonging, apparently, to one body, found 

 &quot; deep &quot; in the mound by Professor Barbour. The bones are of moderate dimen 

 sions. The bodies of several of the vertebrae show asymmetry, while the twelfth 

 dorsal presents, in addition, somewhat peculiar lateral processes, a deviation of 

 the spinous process to the left, and a plain trace of a formerly existing separa 

 tion of the left lamella from the base of this process, conditions all pointing to 

 disturbance in ossification of this spine. None of the bones show any 

 fossilization. 



SACRUM 



Found &quot; deep &quot; in the mound by Professor Barbour. The bone is composed 

 of five segments and shows normal size and form, with moderate curvature. 

 Height, 11.5 cm. ; maximum breadth, about 11.4 cm. No fossilization. 



PELVES 



Two adult male pelves, found in the mound by Mr. Gilder ; depth not recorded. 

 The specimens in every respect are normally developed, and approximate in form 

 the pelvis of the Indian. One, accompanied by several of the lumbar vertebrae, 

 shows some senile marginal exostoses, such as are common in aged whites and 

 occur also in old Indians. 



Pelvis a, somewhat defective ; is strongly built. Diameter external maximum 

 (bi-iliac), 31.4 cm. ; height maximum, about 22.7 cm. ; greatest breadth of right 

 ilium, 17.1 cm. ; of left ilium, 17 cm. ; greatest transverse diameter of the 

 superior strait, 10.8 cm. The sacrum consists of five segments, but the last 

 lumbar shows on the left side a tendency to assimilation ; curvature medium ; 

 height, 11.1 cm.; greatest breadth, 12.9 cm. 



Pelvis &, defective ; shows bones of moderate strength. Greatest height of 

 right os innominatum, 22.9 cm.; greatest breadth, 1(5.7 cm. Sacrum damaged; 

 curvature moderate ; was composed, apparently, of six segments. Neural canal 

 shows -posteriorly throughout its height a defect, due to imperfection of the 

 neural arches of the vertebrae composing the bone. 



OS CALCIS 



Found &quot; deep &quot; in the mound. Form quite ordinary. No fossilization. 

 Greatest length, 7.8 cm. ; height at middle. 4.25 cm. ; smallest breadth at middle, 

 3.15 cm. 



PHALANGES 



Several phalanges and pieces thereof from &quot; deep &quot; in the mound. The 

 bones are of moderate size and show no special features. Some of the slivers 

 look very fresh. 



LONG BONES OF A CHILD LESS THAN A YEAR OLD 



Found &quot; deep &quot; in the mound by Professor Barbour. The bones are slender, 

 but normal ; the right feinu 1 * measures, minus epiphyses, 10.7 cm. The bones 

 look quite fresh, and certainly retain a good proportion of animal matter. The 

 ends of the apophyses, except where broken off, show the delicate cancellous 

 tissue in a perfect state of preservation.
