minence of the glabella and no prognathism ; the face is broad, without 

 prominence of the malar bones ; the orbits are narrow, and the nasal 

 aperture of medium breadth. 



Bones of Trunk and Extremities. The dorsal and lumbar vertebra? 

 are all intact, and the lumbar spine is of interest, in that the vertical 

 depth of the lumbar vertebrae taken together, is greater when mea- 

 sured behind than in front. The respective measurements of the 

 lumbar vertebrae are as follows : 



L 1. L 2. L 3. L 4. L 5. Total. 



Anterior vertical diameter, 14 25 24 25 25 = 113 mm. 

 Posterior vertical diameter, 27 27 22 27 25 = 128 mm. 



The marked wedge shape of the first lumbar vertebra may be 

 due to disease, as several of the vertebrae show evidences of osteo- 

 arthritis. 



The bones of the upper extremities are much broken, but the 

 parts remaining indicate delicate bones. The right clavicle is com- 

 plete, and is a slender, straight and relatively long bone. The right 

 radius is also slender and somewhat curved, and measures 232 mm. in 

 length. 



The right femur is complete, but the head of the left is broken. 

 The upper third of the shaft of the femur shows platymeria, the small 

 trochanter, though well developed, being obscured when the bone is 

 viewed from the front. 



The left tibia is complete, while only the lower two-thirds of the 

 right remains ; both bones are platycnemic, and retroversion of the 

 tibial head is well marked. There is an accessory facet on the lower 

 end of the left tibia for the neck of the astragalus. The torsion of 

 the shaft of the tibia is so great that the articular facet for the lower 

 end of the fibula looks much backwards, thereby throwing the 

 external malleolus on a plane more posterior than that of the 

 internal malleolus. 



The right fibula measures 350 mm., and is a stout bone with well- 

 marked muscular impressions. Its outer border is especially large 

 and rounded so that the bone is much widened transversely.
