Both epiphyses are narrow. The articular surface for the capitulum fibulae is circular and 

 quite flat, and on the front edge of the lower articular surface without exception a secondary 

 facet is found, which is characteristic of people that are accustomed to squat. The following 

 table gives a survey of the measurements, etc.

Manouvrier. 



Without exception the minimum circumference is found at one fourth part distant from 

 the lower end of the bone. The concave curve of the articular surface of the extern condyle 

 deserves attention. The retroflexion is extrême and is partially located in the distal part of 

 the diaphyse. The inclination is also very great, consequently the "angie biaxial" of MANOUVRIER 

 [1893, 231] is only moderate (3 — 4.5 ). 



Fibula. Three spécimens, the longest being 365 m. m. in length (aver. 350 m. m.), ail 

 with a very slight curvature, the lower third part especially being very straight. In antero- 

 posterior direction thinner than European fibulae, they give one the impression of being 

 narrow rulers. The sharp back ridge is formed by the crista lateralis, the front, 4.5 — 6 m. m. 

 broad and transversely concave, has laterally the crista anterior, medially the crista interossea. 

 The broad latéral surface shows along the front edge a shallow groove, along the back edge 

 a slight, transverse arching. The second broad surface is formed by the faciès posterior and 

 the faciès medialis together, and only on the middle third part of the bone has a ridge, which 

 represents the crista medialis. There is a muscular roughness for the soleus muscle and a 

 groove for the insertion of the musc, peronei. The capitulum is small in proportion to the 

 length of the bone, and has entirely at the end, there being no real apex, the circular 

 articular surface, slightly concave and surrounded by a low, bon y ridge. The maleolus has 

 become almost bifid, owing to a medial fossa which continues round the lower end. The
