fossae ; these fossae looked almost directly inwards, the wings and the anterior border of 
each ilium approached the vertical in direction, and the crest was short. The distance 
between the anterior inferior spines was 161 mm., only 13 mm. less than that between 
the anterior superior spines. The breadth of the pelvis was restricted in relation to the 
height, so that the breadth-heio;ht index was as much as 91. The obturator index was 
75*5, which expresses a relatively wide obturator foramen. The transverse diameter of the 
pelvic brim was markedly below the conjugate, and the shape of the inlet was oval in the 
antero-posterior direction ; the pelvic index was 109. The intertuberal diameter corre-
