Their length was as follows

The radio-humeral index was 80, dolichokerkic, and the forearm was long in relation 

 to the length of the upper arm. 



Shaft of Lower Limb. — In the Femur the extensor area on the head was slightly 

 prolonged on to the upper part and front of the neck ; the anterior intertrochanteric 

 line was rough and broad ; there was no infratrochanteric ridge.* The transverse 

 diameter of the shaft of the femur a little below the small trochanter was 29 mm. ; the 

 antero-posterior diameter was 23 mm., and the index was 79*3 ; the shaft of the femur 

 was not flattened in the upper third. The linea aspera was moderate. The inner 

 condyl behind was prolonged a little higher than the edge of the intercondylar fossa. 



The Tibia was somewhat retroverted at the head, the inner condylar surface was 

 concave, the outer convexo-concave. The shaft was compressed laterally, the antero- 

 posterior diameter was 33 mm., and the transverse 23 mm.; the index of platyknemia 

 was 69. 



The Fibula showed moderate muscular markings. The bones of the shaft measured 

 as follows : — 





Eight.

The stature calculated from the length of the femur and tibia was probably about 

 5 feet 3 inches. The right tibio-femoral index was 80, the left 78, and the index 

 was brachyknemic. The relative length of the upper arm and thigh, as expressed by 

 the femoro-humeral index, was 70. The intermembral index was also 70.
