PERFORATION OF THE HUMERUS. 
The perforation of the wall between the fosse at the lower 
end of the humerus seems to be a characteristic of early and 
unmixed races. The perforation does not necessarily occur 
in both humeri of the same person. Mr. Henry Gillman 
(AMERICAN NATURALIST, 1875, page 427) noticed itin the mounds 
on the Detroit and Rouge Rivers, Michigan, but unfortunately 
bases the percentage of its occurrence on an estimate. 
Topinard (Anthropology page 298 et seq.) furnishes an 
interesting table as to the frequency of the occurrence of the 
perforation of the humerus at various periods in France.
