HRDLICKA] PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE LENAPE 107 
The excess of maximum over bicondylar length is greater than in 
whites, indicating greater obliquity of axis. The relation in length 
of the female femur to that of the male is very nearly the same as in 
whites; and the same applies to the relation of the femoral to humeral 
length. 
At the middle of its shaft the femur is slightly broader on the right 
side than on the left, in consequence of which the shaft index is higher 
on the left. This index is decidedly smaller in both sexes of the 
Munsee than in whites, owing to the lesser breadth of the shaft in 
the Indian. 
The subtrochanteric flattening is quite pronounced, giving a pla- 
tymeric index considerably below that of the whites, but agreeing 
with that in other Indians. The index is lower on the left side 
than on the right, and slightly higher in females than in males. 
The shape of the shaft is most frequently the ordinary prismatic. 
The elliptic type is rare. Cylindrical and four-surface types are 
absent. 
The third trochanter in some form and degree exists in more than 
two-thirds of the bones, but is rarely pronounced. 
Tibia.—The female Munsee tibia is not only absolutely but also 
relatively shorter than that of males; nevertheless, in both sexes the 
bone is relatively longer than in whites, in consequence of which the 
tibio-femoral index is high. 
Platyenemy is infrequent; in the females the shaft is stout in many 
instances. In the shape of the shaft there is a frequency of the four- 
surface type. 
Fibula.—The shape of the fibula is most frequently lateral pris- 
matic or fluted. 
Olavicles.—The clavicle in the female is relatively short. The right 
clavicle is slightly longer than the left in the males, shorter in the 
females. 
Sternum.—The manubrium is generally detached; the bone is of 
moderate dimensions; frequent minor asymmetries; rib facets irregu- 
lar in number. Curvature and measurements moderate; sternum of 
female relatively shorter. 
Scapula.—The scapula is smaller than that of ordinary whites, 
especially in height. Scapular index high, showing the bone to be 
relatively broad, particularly in the females. Infraspinous index also 
high, even by comparison with that in other Indians. 
The shape of the body is mostly quadrilateral or pentagonal. The 
superior border is frequently semilunar. The scapular notch in the 
males is often deep or converted into a foramen. 
Ribs.—The ribs show remarkable freedom from fractures. Cervi- 
cal rib present in one instance, 22 ribs only in another. In three- 
fourths of the cases the first ribs are semilunar in form.
