VERTEBR.K 



Several dorsal and lumbar vertebra 1 belonging, apparently, to one bo<ly. found 

 "deep" In the mound by Professor Harbour. The l>ones are of modi-rate dimen- 

 sions. The Ixxlies of several of the vertebra 1 show asymmetry, while the twelfth 

 dorsal presents, In addition, somewhat i>eculiar lateral processes, a deviation of 

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

 tion of the left hunclla 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 " deep " in the mound by Professor Harbour. The l>one 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 develoj>ed. and approximate in form 

 the pelvis of the Indian. One. accompanied by several of the lumbar vertebra 1 , 

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

 occur also in old Indians. 



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

 right os innominatum. 22.9 cm.; greatest breadth, 10.7 cm. Sacrum damaged; 

 curvature moderate; was comi>osed, apparently, of six segments. Neural canal 

 shows posteriorly throughout its height a defect, due to imi>erfection of the 

 neural arches of the vertebra 1 composing the bone. 



OS CALCIS 



Found "deep" 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 " deep " 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 "deep" in the mound by Professor Harbour. The bones are slender, 

 but normal ; the right femur 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 cancel lous 

 tissue in a perfect state of preservation.
