PHOTOGRAPH AND SKELETON OF AN AUSTRALIAN. 65 



entiated from the body. In the same bone the configura- 

 tion in the region of the supruscapuhir notch is very 

 pecnliar, and deserves a l)rief notice. This notch in Enro- 

 peans is generally well differentiated and lies just at the 

 posterior border of the base of the coracoid process. In 

 the anthropoid apes a distinct notch does not appear at 

 all, there being simply a gradual curve along the entire 

 su[)erior border. Now in the left scapula we find neither 

 the notch nor the gradual curve. Instead there is a pro- 

 longation of the anterior process to within 10 mm. of the 

 base of the spine, then it projects backwards and slightly 

 upwards for a distance of 8 mm. ; then it passes upwards 

 and decidedly forward and reaches the crest of the spine. 

 Thus there is formed a squarish notch, the sides of which 

 measure approximately 10 mm. jukI the posterior superior 

 edge forms with the border of the body proper an ex- 

 tremely acute angle. 



This same region on the left scapula is not so anomalous 

 but is of perhaps greater interest, for there is not a notch 

 at all but a clearly defined parabolic curve, which in no 

 wise differs from that of the scapula of the orang. 



There is yet another peculiar difierence to be noted 

 between the right and left scapula. In the right scapula 

 the external border is decidedly T shaped almost through- 

 out, the outer border being 10-12 mm. broad, but there 

 is no abrupt increase in width as we approach the acromion 

 as is usual, but instead only a gradual widening until the 

 end is reached, where there is the maxinunn width of 25 

 mm. Tiie termination of the process is squarish and only 

 projects 22 mm. beyond a line perpendicular to the glenoid 

 fossa. The spine of the left clavicle is decidedly heavier 

 and more massive in every way, and its termination is 

 more typical of the human form than that of the loft. The 

 tip of the external border of the acromion extends beyond
