described the ulnar head as normally present ; but Keith 

 has shown that it is absent in as many as 10 per cent, of

 present, in some degree, in about 40 per cent, of all 

 individuals. 



In none of the Monkeys is an ulnar head present under

The ulnar head is absent in all other orders of Eutherian 

 Mammals, with the exception of at any rate some of

 of the ulna and from the internal collateral ligament
