_* Lower (proximal) branch of the calipers applied to the most prominent parts of the inferior surface of 
the bone. 
+ Breadth minimum, in middle of bone, upper branch of calipers resting on both lips of the seaphoid facet: 
the only practicable breadth in all specimens. 
A comparison of the internal cuneiform in the Munsee and in the 
United States whites shows the bone in both sexes of the latter to be 
greater in height as well as in breadth. But, as indicated by the 
indexes, this bone in the whites is in general also relatively higher than 
’ in the Indians, as the result of which we have a lower index in the 
whites in both sexes. This reveals another interesting difference in the 
osteology of the two groups, which may prove to be of definite racial 
significance. 
The relatively greater narrowness of the internal cuneiform in the 
female than in the male is equally well pronounced in the whites and 
in the Munsee, and is probably a universal characteristic.

In descriptive features the internal cuneiform of the Munsee offers 
only minor differences from that of the whites. 
There seems to be 
present in the Indians, however, a somewhat greater tendency toward 
the occurrence of a double anterior or metatarsal facet.
