Cunningham & Browne — Human Remains^ Lismore. 555 



skeleton was not found along with the bones of the forearm, as from 

 these the radio -humeral index could have been obtained. 



The pelvis is almost entire, though very light and brittle, the 

 only injury it has sustained being the loss of the lower part of the 

 sacrum. The ilia are non-translucent, and but slightly expanded. 

 The Y-shaped junction of the three primary portions is quite visible 

 in both ossa innominata (especially in the left where it is very 

 evident), and the epiphyses are marked off by clear boundary lines 

 from the rest of the bones. The junctions of the parts of the sacrum 

 are not fully closed.

The above given measurements were all taken by Sir William 

 Turner's method. The pelvis, from its shape and dimensions, appears 

 to be that of a young male somewhat above the middle stature. 



Lumbar vertehrce. — Only three vertebrae — the first, second, and 

 third lumbar — were received, but these fortunately were in good con- 

 dition. They belonged to a young person, as is shown by the non- 

 obliteration of the epiphyseal lines. The measurements of these 

 bones are —
