FOWKE] ANTIQUITIES OF MISSOURI Lit 
U. S. Nat. Mus. no. 249685; original no. 114 (exact locality not 
given): Bones of a male skeleton. 
Femora: Length (bicondylar), right, 45.0 cm., left, 45.4 cm. 
Diameters at greatest expanse of subtrochanteric flattening, right, 
3.45 x 2.4 em.; left, 3.35 x 2.4em. The right bone shows a moderate 
and the left a pronounced third trochanter; while anteriorly both 
present a well defined tubercle at the upper limit of the inter- 
trochanteric line. In shape the shaft of each represents type 1. 
Special: In its lower two-fifths the right bone is diseased, showing 
an irregular diffused swelling, with a marked increase in weight, and 
there is a small spot, honeycombed through suppuration, both ante- 
riorly and posteriorly above the lower articular surface; all of which 
probably indicates syphilis. The left femur and the tibiz are normal. 
Tibiw: Length, right, 38.0 em.; left, 38.2 em. Diameter antero- 
posterior at middle, right, 3.4 cm.; left, 3.35 em. Diameter lateral 
at middle, right, 2.5 cm.; left, 2.1 em. Shape of shafts, both approxi- 
mating type 2. The head in both shows quite marked inclination 
backward. Right fibula, normal; length, 37.0 cm. 
U.S. Nat. Mus. no. 249686 (exact locality not given): Left humerus 
of an adolescent, damaged. No special features physically. This 
specimen shows numerous positive marks of cutting, especially at 
the middle and the upper third, where they penetrate, particularly 
at the middle, in a V-shaped incision into the cavity of the shaft. 
U.S. Nat. Mus. no. 249687 (exact locality not given): Right tibia 
of an adolescent, probably of the preceding subject; damaged. 
This shows marks of cutting as well as of rodents’ teeth; otherwise 
there are no special features. 
U. S. Nat. Mus. no. 249688; original no. 30 (exact locality not 
given): Bones of a male skeleton. 
Left femur: Length, 48.5 cm.; diameters at greatest breadth of 
upper flattening, 3.9 x 2.9 cm.; shape of shaft, rounded; pronounced 
linea aspera. 
Tibizw damaged; shape of shaft in each approximately type 2. 
Diameter antero-posterior at middle, right, 3.9 cm.; left, 4.0 cm. 
Diameter lateral at middle, right, 2.3 em.; left, 2.3 cm. 
Head shows slightly more than average inclination backward as 
compared with the average head of the tibia in whites. 
U. S. Nat. Mus. no. 249689; original no. 115 (from Easley mound 
no. 2): A pair of damaged adult tibie. Shape of shaft in both, type 
3. Diameter antero-posterior at middle, right, 3.6 cm.; left, 5.0 cm. 
Diameter lateral at middle, right, 2.65 cm.; left, 2.6 em. Both 
bones, but especially the right, show a moderate bend backward 
above the middle. 
U. S. Nat. Mus. no. 249690; original no. 60 (exact locality not 
given): Pieces of three tibie and one fibula.
