The two lengths of the femur, the bicondylar and the maximum, 
differ somewhat as a rule in favor of the latter. The difference is 
due and proportional to the inclination of the axis of the shaft and 
the development of the internal condyle, and ranges in different 
individuals from 0.5 mm. to 15 mm. In whites in all the groups 
studied it is moderate, not reaching 4 mm. in the average. In the 
American negro (who often has some white blood), the dispropor- 
tion between the two lengths is slightly higher than in the whites, but 
additional observations are needed. Among Indians, however, the 
difference is perceptibly higher than among the whites, and is espe- 
cially pronounced among the Munsee, where it reaches the average of 
nearly 5 mm. in the males (taking the mean of the two sides) and 
6mm. in the females. As the Munsee bones are perfectly normal, the 
explanation of this peculiarity must be sought either in an unusual 
breadth of the pelvis or in a somewhat greater length of the neck of 
the femur, and may be connected with some functional characteristic 
of these people, such as possibly a more than usual prevalence of the 
habit of squatting.
