the ulna, and the interosseous interval varied materially in transverse diameter, and at 

 its widest was 20 mm. in the right forearm and 18 in the left.

The forearm was relatively long as compared with the upper arm, and the radio- 

 humeral or ante-brachial index in the Badaga skeleton was 81, which places it in the 

 group that I have elsewhere named dolichokerkic. 



Shaft of the Lower Limb. Femur. — The bones were moderate in size. The extensor 

 area of the head was distinctly prolonged on to the front and upper border of the neck. 

 The anterior intertrochanteric line was moderately strong. The upper third of the 

 shaft was somewhat flattened, and an external infratrochanteric ridge, distinct from the 

 gluteal ridge and separated from it by a vertical groove, was present. The trans- 

 verse diameter of the shaft a little below the small trochanter was 30 mm., and the 

 antero-posterior was 22 mm. ; the index of platymery was 73*3. The linea aspera 

 was moderate ; in the middle of the shaft the transverse diameter was E. 25, L. 24 mm., 

 and the antero-posterior R. 24, L. 26 mm. ; the pilastric index was R. 96 and L. 108. 

 The popliteal surface was flattened. The condylar articular surfaces were well marked, 

 and the internal condyl was prolonged obliquely upwards a little higher than the 

 upper border of the intercondylar fossa. 



Tibia. — The head of the right bone was slightly retroverted, that of the left a little 

 more so. The internal condylar articular surface was concave, the external was concavo- 

 convex. The muscular markings on the shaft were moderate. The antero-posterior 

 diameter at the nutrient foramen was in the right 30 mm., in the left 31 ; whilst the 

 transverse diameter was R. 24, L. 22 mm., the index in the right bone was 80, and 

 in the left 70 - 9 ; the left bone was compressed laterally in the shaft 



The lower end of the left tibia had an articular facet on the anterior border, 

 but this was absent in the right bone. In both astragali the tibial articular sur- 

 face was prolonged forward on the neck to 7 mm. from the upper edge of the 

 scaphoid surface. 



Fibula. — The muscular markings were distinct, though the bones were slender. 



Patella. — Only the right bone was present, the diameters of which were 40 x 39 mm.
