9986 REPORT ON AN ADDITIONAL COLLECTION OF SKELETAL 
The Scaphord. 
Of this bone only a few are present, and among these there is but one that 
shows any peculiarity. This is from female skeleton 255.096, Louisiana, and the 
peculiarity consists of a rather pronounced pointed process which rises from the 
middle of the inferior surface of the bone and anteriorly has an articular facet, 
The same specimen shows also a small cuboid facet. 
The Cubord. 
This bone, of which a fair number of specimens are in hand, shows, as a rule, 
an elevated or an unelevated facet for the sesamoid in the tendon of the peroneus 
longus. 
The First Metatarsal. 
This bone is generally of ordinary form and of moderate dimensions. None 
of the specimens shows any special features. Their length, given below, indicates 
close similarity with respect to the two areas from which they came.
