STERNUM 
The total number of sterna present is 14, 8 males and 6 females. 
In 13 of these specimens the manubrium is completely detached, 
which in general is the most usual condition, while in the 14th there is 
partial attachment. Much the same condition was found by the 
writer in the Indian sterna from Arkansas and Louisiana. 
The measurements of the sternum, given in the next table, are 
found to be moderate throughout. Unfortunately there are few 
available measurements of the sternum in other races for comparison.

* Where present and attached to upper sternal tubercle (three instances). 
As to the rib facets, two of the 11 sterna in which the notches can 
be counted show seven on each side; in female skeleton no. 285,307, 
with normal number of ribs, there are seven notches on the right 
and but six on the left; in female no. 285,311, with 24 regular ribs
