128 mm. 129 mm. 100-7 General Index. 



In this spine the collective posterior vertical diameter of the bodies of the four 

 lower dorsals was 8 mm. more than the anterior. In the lumbar vertebrae the collec- 

 tive posterior diameter was I mm. more than the anterior, instead of, as is customary 

 in Europeans being several mm. less, and the general lumbar index was 1007. 

 The last lumbar was the only vertebra in which the anterior diameter of the 

 body exceeded the posterior. The almost equality in the two diameters was such as to 

 reduce the wedge-shaped form of the bodies to a minimum, and the spine, so far as its 

 curvature was dependent on their shape and not on that of the intervertebral discs, 

 was a straight spine, orthorachic. 



Ribs. — These bones were not complete. Those present indicated a thorax of 

 moderate dimensions and showed no special variations from the normal. 



Bones of the Upper Limb. — The Clavicles were slender and with well-marked 

 sigmoid curves ; the muscular ridges were feeble, and the groove for the subclavius 

 muscle was shallow. The articular surfaces were smooth and not extensive. The right 

 bone was 140 mm. long, the left 148 mm. 



The Scapula? were also slender, and with the muscular markings relatively feeble ; 

 the axillary border was almost straight, the vertebral border was sharp, and the inferior 

 angle was rounded ; the spine and acromion were normal ; the right coracoid notch was 

 deep and wide. The right bone was 143 mm. in length and 101 in breadth; the left 

 bone was 144 mm. long and 102 broad ; the right scapular index was 70*6, the left was 

 70 '8. The right infraspinous length was 103 mm., and the infraspinous index was 98 ; 

 the left infraspinous length was 102 mm. and the index was 100. 



Shaft of Upper Limb. — The humerus, radius, and ulna were slender, and with the 

 muscular ridges moderate. In the humerus the musculo-spiral groove was shallow and 

 the shaft showed scarcely any twist ; in the right bone was a minute, intercondylar fora- 

 men, but neither bone had a supracondylar process. The ulnar articular surface for the 

 head of the radius was large, and indicated free range of movement between the bones. 

 The axis of the neck of the radius was set at an angle to that of the shaft. The axis of 

 the shaft of the ulna was almost vertical. The interosseous interval between the bones 

 was 1 7 mm. in its widest transverse diameter. The length of the bones was as follows : — 



Humerus, from head to tip of trochlea, 

 Radius ,, „ ,, styloid, 



,, ,, ,, base ,, 



Ulna from olecranon to tip of styloid, 



,, ,, ,, lower articular surface,
