  TWENTY-FIRST 
  REPORT 
  ON 
  THE 
  STATE 
  CABINET. 
  

  

  tively 
  about 
  nine 
  and 
  one-half 
  and 
  ten 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  feet 
  high 
  at 
  

   the 
  shoulders. 
  If 
  this 
  ratio 
  were 
  applicable 
  to 
  all 
  other 
  dimen- 
  

   sions, 
  their 
  weights 
  would 
  be 
  estimated 
  to 
  bear 
  the 
  ratio 
  of 
  three 
  

   to 
  four, 
  but 
  other 
  consideratins 
  make 
  it 
  probable 
  that 
  the 
  differ- 
  

   ence 
  was 
  considerably 
  greater. 
  The 
  larger 
  animal 
  was 
  by 
  far 
  by 
  

   the 
  more 
  robust 
  and 
  muscular; 
  the 
  trochanters 
  are 
  more 
  than 
  pro- 
  

   portionally 
  larger, 
  and 
  all 
  processes 
  and 
  surfaces 
  for 
  the 
  attachment 
  

   of 
  muscles 
  are 
  of 
  greater 
  size 
  and 
  more 
  rugose, 
  while 
  the 
  patella 
  

   is 
  more 
  than 
  twice 
  as 
  large. 
  An 
  inspection 
  of 
  the 
  dimensions, 
  

   already 
  given 
  of 
  leg 
  bones, 
  reveals 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  

   Cohoes 
  skeleton 
  are 
  comparatively 
  slender. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  following 
  table 
  the 
  ratios 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  column 
  are 
  obtained 
  

   by 
  dividing 
  the 
  lengths 
  of 
  bones 
  of 
  the 
  larger 
  skeleton 
  by 
  cor- 
  

   responding 
  lengths 
  of 
  the 
  smaller. 
  In 
  the 
  second 
  column, 
  are 
  

   average 
  ratios 
  of 
  several 
  different 
  circumferences 
  of 
  each 
  bone. 
  

   The 
  third 
  column 
  gives 
  the 
  comparative 
  bulks 
  or 
  solidities 
  obtained 
  

   by 
  multiplying 
  the 
  ratios 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  column 
  by 
  the 
  squares 
  of 
  

   those 
  of 
  the 
  second. 
  The 
  fourth 
  gives 
  the 
  comparative 
  stout- 
  

   ness, 
  or 
  the 
  ratio 
  between 
  cross 
  sections 
  after 
  eliminating 
  the 
  

   difference 
  due 
  to 
  difference 
  of 
  length; 
  it 
  is 
  obtained 
  by 
  squar- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  quotient 
  resulting 
  from 
  the 
  division 
  of 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  the 
  

   second 
  column 
  by 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  first. 
  

  

  (The 
  Cohoes 
  skeleton 
  is 
  in 
  each 
  case 
  the 
  unit 
  with 
  which 
  the 
  

   Warren 
  skeleton 
  is 
  compared.)
