Bones of the Peleis and Lower Limbs 



All the bones of the pelvis and lower limbs of normal shape and medium size. 

 Pelvis apparently that of a female (subpubic angle 100=). Bones well united, 

 all traces of the union in acetabulum effaced. Epiphyses ununited except on the 

 iscbiatic protuberances, where bony union just begins. Above the fossa acetabuli 

 (8 mm. postero-superiorly from the uppermost edge of the fossa) there is in both 

 acetabula an irregularly triangular depression of about 2 water-drops capacity 

 (accessory tendon?).

Biiliac diameter of whole bony pelvis (between internal 



iliac borders), maximum 21.0

 der in this case without its epiphyses), maximum 19.4 



Antero-posterior diameter of superior strait 11.8 



Lateral diameter of superior strait 11.4 



Oblique diameter of superior strait 11-3 



Height of subject (determined after Manouvrier's method) about 1.620 m. (above 

 the general average). 

 Femurs — Lower epiphyses ununited. Muscular attachments, including liuea 

 aspera, but little prominent.
