HRDLICKA] PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE LENAPE 67 
trochanter in any form than in the Munsee; there is less frequency 
of the moderate ridge and moderate oblong tuberosity; and a greater 
frequency of pronounced grades of both ridge and oblong tuberosity, 
while the occurrence of round tuberosity is about even in the two 
groups. Subtrochanteric fossa in place of or beside a prominence 
was observed in Munsee adults in five cases—four males and one 
female. In adolescents it was more frequent. 
TIBIA 
The results of the several measurements obtained on the Munsee 
tibize are shown below. 
The mean length of the bone, taking the two sides together, is 38.5 
cm. in the males and 35.3 cm. in the females. The length of the 
female bone stands to that of the male as 91.7 to 100, which is lower 
than was obtained on the tibiz from Louisiana, where the propor- 
tion was 93.7, or than that prevailing among whites, where it is even 
slightly higher (94.6 in miscellaneous New York whites). The Mun- 
see female tibiz are therefore relatively somewhat short, paralleling 
to some extent what was found with reference to the radius. Lesser 
differences of the same nature is found in probably all larger racial 
groups. Why the feature should be more pronounced in the Munsee 
than in other Indians is difficult of explanation; but, as will be seen 
later, this is not the only peculiarity of the female Munsee tibiz.
