 (1). An elongated upper part joins the sacrum and extends down 

 to the socket for the thigh. This is the ILIUM (if).

The ilio-pectineal eminence is seen in Fig. A., 

 between a and t, and in Fig. B., above t, on 

 aline with the upper margin of the obturator

 wards, and ultimately backwards. This is the PUBIS (Fig. 64, 

 p, and Figs. 65 and 66, t).
