HRDLICKA] PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE LENAPE 99 
which show only one facet corresponding to the anterior and middle 
facets of the calcaneus, without any dividing line; 29, or 48 per cent, 
with one facet divided more or less completely by a ridge; and only 
three specimens, or 5 per cent, in which there are two distinct facets, 
though in but one of these are they separated by a moderate space. 
In the astragalus of the whites the proportions of these different 
forms are by no means the same as in the Munsee. Thus among 82 
bones there are but 24, or 29 per cent, with one facet not divided by any 
ridge; 35, or 43 per cent, with one facet divided by aridge; and no fewer 
than 23, or 28 per cent, of those in which there are two distinct facets, 
in 19 of which they are completely separated by a narrow to moderate 
space. The frequency of two facets well separated is therefore much 
greater among the whites than among the Munsee, which is another 
interesting distinction in the astragalus of these two groups and 
possibly of the two races which they represent. This is the more 
remarkable as no corresponding difference has been found in the 
facets on the os calcis. 
Scaphoid 
There are three additional bones of the tarsus which deserve 
somewhat detailed scrutiny, namely, the scaphoid or navicular, the 
cuboid, and the internal cuneiform. Although irregular in shape, 
each one of these bones yields to three measurements, which differ 
in the two sexes as well as racially, and each presents a number of 
points for observation. 
The measurements taken by the writer on the scaphoid as well as 
on the other tarsal bones are, it may be repeated, the most practicable 
ones, and relate as closely as possible to the three principal dimen- 
sions of the specimens. In the case of the scaphoid they are the 
greatest breadth, height, and stoutness. 
The results of the measurements of the scaphoid in the Munsee 
appear in the next table. The bone in the male is very perceptibly 
larger than that in the female, and that of the right foot is in both 
sexes and in all dimensions somewhat larger than that of the left. 
These conditions are‘shown nicely by the module or mean, diameter 
of the bone. 
The three measurements give rise to two indexes, which indicate 
the relative proportions of the scaphoid. The height-breadth index 
is somewhat larger on both sides in the females than in the males, 
which, as will readily be seen by reference to the actual dimensions, 
is due to the relatively greater breadth of the Munsee scaphoid in the 
males. No special difference is observable on the two sides of the 
body in the males, but in the females the right bone is relatively higher 
than the left. 
The stoutness-breadth index offers no special differences either on 
the two sides or in the two sexes.
