The skeleton of woman is lighter in proportion to her total 
‘weight than that of man. It has been discovered that the male 
skeleton contains more inorganic matter than that of woman, 
and more carbonate of lime and less phosphate of lime. The 
woman uses the right side less than the man. According to 
Livon the left shoulder blade is larger than the right in woman, 
as in the inferior races. Broca found that the length of the clavi-
