Spine.—The spine is of moderate regular development. There are 
several numerical and structural anomalies. 
Sacrum.—The dimensions of the sacrum are close to those of white 
males, but the female Munsee sacrum is shorter. The sacral index is 
not far from that in whites. 
The sacrum shows the presence of six segments in one-fifth of the 
cases. The curvature is moderate to medium, and begins rather 
frequently below the first segment. 
Pelwis.—Innominate bones absolutely smaller but relatively broader 
in females than in males. Breadth-height index lower than in whites. 
The pelvis as a rule is free from deformation. Male pelvis larger and 
relatively higher than the female, giving higher height-breadth index. 
Pelvic cavity in no case abnormal, but differs considerably in meas- 
urements; in general it is relatively deep at the brim, as a result of 
which it gives a high brim index. 
Short and other bones: Patelle.—The patella averages somewhat 
smaller in size than in whites. Male bone larger than female, but 
no difference in either sex on the two:sides. The male Munsee patella 
is relatively somewhat shorter than that of the whites. Frequency of 
vastus notch. 
Bones of hand.—Very free from anomalies. Moderate dimensions 
throughout. Metacarpo-humeral index lower than in whites, indi- 
cating relatively small hand. 
Bones of feet.—First metatarsal shorter, both absolutely and rela- 
tively to’ the femoral length, than in whites, indicatmg relatively 
smaller feet. 
Os calcis—Bones of the two sides almost equal in size; very slight 
excess on right. Male bone relatively stouter than female, giving 
higher breadth-length and breadth-height indexes. The bone is 
smaller in all dimensions than that in ordinary whites of similar 
stature. The female os calcis is shorter and lower, but as slender 
as that of the whites. 
The numerical variation of the facets for the astragalus is much 
the same as in whites, but in the latter the anterior and middle facets 
are much more frequently wide apart. 
Astragalus.—Smaller in all dimensions than in whites. Equal on 
the two sides in males, but slightly higher on the left than on the 
right in the females. This bone is not only absolutely but si 
shorter and lower than that among the whites. 
The facets for the os calcis do not harmonize fully with those on 
the os calcis itself, being less differentiated and more frequently con- 
nected or fused. 
Scaphoid.—The scaphoid is smaller than in whites, also relatively 
less stout and frequently relatively less high than in the whites. 
The right scaphoid is larger than the left.
