THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
Stuart of the University of Sydney since the publication of the First Part of this Report. 
As the number of adult male pelves afforded a fair amount of material for comparison, 
I shall especially describe their characters. 
In three males the bone was very thin in the iliac fossa, in three it was not so. As a 
rule the bones were heavy and the iliac fossae looked inwards. The maximum breadth 
was 278 mm. in the Queensland skeleton, in which the wings of the ilia were more 
expanded than in the other specimens ; the minimum breadth was 232 mm. in the 
Eucla male, and the mean breadth of the six males was 252 mm. The maximum height 
was 205 mm., the minimum 180 mm., and the mean 194 mm. The mean breadth-height 
index was 77. The breadth between the antero-superior iliac spines in each pelvis was 
more than three times as great as that between the postero-superior iliac spines, and in 
the Manly Cove and Queensland specimens was four times as great. The greatest 
diameter of the cotyloid ranged from 50 to 55 mm. The mean vertical diameter of the
