Notes on two scapulae. 



251 



The coracoid process measures 40 mm from its point of junction 

 with the superior border to its apex. A ridge 9 mm long projects 

 forwards from its 'anterior border midway between the base and apex. 



A large oval compression occupies the inner and posterior part 

 of the coracoid process it measures 27 x 15 mm. The long axis runs 

 from behind forwards and the short axis which runs upwards and 

 outwards is near the anterior part of the impression. 



The position of the impression corresponds to the attachment of 

 the conoid ligament. 



The clavicle shows a flat, oval surface in the position of the conoid 

 tubercle. This surface looks downwards and outwards is flat and mea- 

 sures 17 mm in its long diameter and 7 mm in its shortest. 



The bones are not covered with cartilage, but in the fresh con- 

 dition, a large bursa existed in the conoid ligament, which on being 

 opened had all the appearence of an articular cavity. The portion of 

 the wall of this cavity corresponding to the scapula and clavicle. I find, 

 is fibrous rather than cartilaginous. This specimen which I have now 

 several years, I have figured: 



There was no joint affection or degeneration in either case x ). 



*) Professor Krause in his Anatomy (Vol. 3. p. 76) says that a tuberculum in- 

 fraglenoidale sometimes exists, which gives attachment to the long head of the triceps.
