14c Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 



The right os magnum and third and fifth metacarpals are present. 



Three bones of the left carpus and all five left metacarpals are in evidence. 

 There are twenty-one phalanges of the fingers. 



The right innominate bone, both femurs, the left patella, both tibise and 

 both fibulse are present. There is a slight trace of the squatting facet on the 

 necks of both femurs. The upper ends of both tibise are markedly retroverted, 

 due probably to habitual adoption of the squatting posture. The condition of 

 the tibiae thus confirms the existence of the squatting facets on the necks of the 

 femurs. Both fibulse exhibit pronounced bony exostoses corresponding to the 

 origins of the soleus muscles, and suggest very vigorous development of these. 



Both heel bones, the astragalus on both sides, both naviculars, both internal 

 cuneiforms and both external cuneiforms are present, as also the right middle 

 cuneiform and the right cuboid. 



Five left and four right metatarsals are present, as also the proximal phal- 

 anges of both great toes. 



This sacrum possesses an unusual shape, owing to the junction between the 

 first and second sacral segments projecting almost as far forward as the promon- 

 tory. As a result the lumbar curve merges into the sacral- in a somewhat char- 

 acteristic manner. The forward concavity of this sacrum is deepest opposite 

 the junction of the fourth and fifth segments instead of the third which is the 

 usual condition. The maximum length is 116 • 5 mm., and the maximam bt'.adth 

 122 mm. The sacral index is thus 104-7 and belongs to the sub-platyhieric 

 class. The sacral index of the Eskimo is as a rule over 106 (platyhieric) and is 

 much below the Anglo-Saxon average. 



XIV D-8 



The skull of an adult female beyond middle life. All the sutures, except the 

 squamous, are very indistinct. There is an area of superficial necrosis involving 

 chiefly the outer table (52 x 75 mm.) over the right parietal bone, in the centre 

 of which is an elongated perforation (syphilitic?).
