SYSTEMATIC REVISION

processes, which suggest a cartilaginous cap. The position of the scapula 

 and coracoid is peculiar. If the glenoid cavity is directed outwards, the ribs 

 adherent to them fit their extremities, from which they have been broken, 

 which adhere to the vertebrae. This is probably the natural position. 

 When thus placed, the plate of the scapula is horizontal transversely and 

 inclined upwards and posteriorly at 30°. The coracoid is vertical. When 

 in place, there is a large tuberosity above and anterior to the glenoid fossa, 

 immediately behind which is a wide, shallow fossa. 



"The curve of the proximal extremity of the humerus is a semicircle. 

 That of the distal end is less convex, being flattened at the middle. Viewed 

 proximally, the proximal end is a little concave on one side and one extremity 

 of the articular surface is expanded and rounded. Viewed distally, the 

 distal extremity is angulate concave, the middle portion being straight and 

 the extremities bent in the same direction, one being longer than the other, 

 and neither expanded. The entire extremity makes an angle of 90° with 

 the plane of the proximal end. The epitrochlear foramen is protected by 

 a strong bridge.
