LONG BONES. 



Tliere are eight long bones among thereniaius, viz : 



1 humerus, right. '} 



1 ulua, right. | 



1 radius, left. I . 



1 femur, left. f 



1 tibia, left. | 



1 libula, left. }, 



evidently belonging with the skull'marked No. 1. 

 Besides these are, 



1 femur, right. ) -r> 



1 femur, left. S 



which should undoubtedly be correlative with skull No. 2. 



I)escri])tion and measurements ofhones A- 



a. Humerus. — If we may judge from what is known in general about 

 the proportions of the human body, the loug bones combined under the 

 head A belonged to a person about ^.^ feet high. The greatest length 

 of the humerus, measured from the apex of the head to the inuer and 

 lower border of the trochlea 32^™. 2 ; greatest diameter of head near 

 the anatomical neck 4*^'". 8. Muscular insertions very marked. An- 

 tero-posterior diameter of shaft 7°", 5 below insertion of supra spiuatus 

 2cn,2. Transverse diameter 2<'"\4; circumference7'^'".3. Tbe same 

 measurements in the middle of the bone 1'='".7, 2<="'.3, and G'^'^.G, respective- 

 ly, and 1'^".5 above the olecranon depression I'^^.S, 3'=™.C, and 9<="\8. Ex- 

 treme distance between outermost point of external and innermost ot 

 internal condyle G*^™.!. 



h. Ulna. — Distance from olecranon to articular jjart of the head of the 

 lower .extremity (styloid process broken) =20<='".3; muscular insertions 

 everywhere strongly pronounced. Greatest circumference of shaft meas- 

 ured 3'^'". 7 below the highest point of coronoid process, S^^'^.S ; antero- 

 posterior and lateral diameters, in the same plane 1<='".8 and P^.G, re- 

 spectively. 



c. Badins. — Distance from highest point of head to lowermost of styloid 

 process 24'='".G ; diameter of head 2<= "",2 ; depression of its upper surface 

 rather deep; ridge for attachment of portion of supinator brevis un- 

 commonly pronounced. The shaft does not offer anything extraordi- 

 nary. Antero-posterior and transverse diameters of lower extremity 

 2cm_3cm jjjjj;^ 3 4^ respectively. 



d. Femur. — The length of the femur, measured from the upper surface 

 of the head to the inner condyle, is 45*^'".5, while the greatest distance 

 between the great trochanter and the outer condyle is 43<='".4. Greatest 

 "width measured between the depression for the ligamentum teres and 

 the insertion of the gluteus medius 9'"".9 ; greatest diameter of head 

 4«^'".G; depression for the attachment of the ligamentum teres is less ovoid 

 than usual, and more of a reniform shape, its two diameters being 2*='". 

 and f^"". 5, respectively. Neck very strong; greatest horizontal diame- 

 ter 2<="\G ; greatest vertical diameter 3'=".2 ; anterior surface without 

 any vascular foramina and concave, while the posterior surface is more 

 convex than usual. Antero-posterior diameter of shaft 1'='" .5 below 

 the base of the lesser trochanter 2^™.5 ; transverse diameter measured 

 in the same plane 3'=™.4. The same measurements taken in the middle 

 of shaft 2'^™.4 and 2<=™.3, and 3«™.4, above the upper and external border 

 of the trochlear surface 3'='".0 and 4"".2, respectively. The three cir-
