5074. The left scapula. 



The coracoid element has not coalesced with the proper scapula : it contributes a portion 

 to the glenoid articular surface, and is proportionally larger than in Man. The acromion is 

 considerably less than in Man. The superior costa is deeper anteriorly than behind ; the 

 proportions being reversed in the Human skeleton. 



5075. The left humerus. 



It is imperforate at the distal end, where the epiphysis is more anchylosed than that at the 

 proximal end. The shaft is long and slender, and is slightly twisted. 



5076. The bones of the left fore-arm and hand. 



In the wrist, the scaphoides and lunare articulate with the radius ; the cuneiforme is 

 attached by ligament to the styloid process of the ulna ; the separate portion of the scaphoid 

 is wedged between the lunare, os magnum, and trapezo'ides. The metacarpals have only half 

 the breadth of the proximal phalanges at their middle part. The phalanges are long, bent 

 towards the palm, and expanded at their middle. 



5077. The ossa innormnata. 



The sutures of the constituent bones are unobliterated. There is a small superficial plate 

 upon the cotyloid end of the pubis. 



5078. The left femur. 



The hemispherical head shows no pit for the ligamentum teres, which is constantly absent 

 in this species. 



5079. The bones of the leg and foot. 



The fore part of the astragalus is produced obliquely downwards and inwards. The back 

 part of the calcaneum is short and compressed. The hallux supports but one phalanx. 



5080. The cranium, vertically and longitudinally bisected, of an immature Orang- 

 utan (Simla Satyr us). 



The deciduous dentition is in place : the crown of the first permanent true molar may be seen 

 in its formative alveolus. The sutures between the elements of the occipital bone, between 

 the basioccipital and basisphenoid, between the maxillaries and premaxillaries, with the other 

 ordinary sutures, are retained ; but the frontal suture had been obliterated, and the nasal bone 

 is, as usual, single. The basisphenoid is as yet occupied only by cancellous structure, the
