broken and carried over to the left side, where, if this mode 
of viewing the subject be correct, the sternum must likewise 
lie concealed below the termination of the ribs. The small 
bone dependent above the upper ribs of the left side, appears 
to be the right clavicle. The right os humeri is lost ; of the 
left nothing remains except the condyles in connexion with 
the fore-arm, which is in the state of pronation : the radius 
of this side exists nearly in its full length, while of the ulna 
the lower part only remains, which is considerably pushed 
upwards. Of the two bones of the right fore-arm, the inferior 
terminations are seen. Both the rows of the bones of the 
wrists are lost, but the whole metacarpus of the left hand is 
displayed, together with part of the bones of the fingers : the 
first joint of the fore-finger rests on the upper ridge of the os 
pubis, the two others, detached from their metacarpal bones, 
are propelled downwards, and situated at the inner side of the 
femur and below the foramen magnum ischii of this side. 
Vestiges of three of the fingers of the right hand are likewise 
visible, considerably below the lower portion of the fore-arm, 
and close to the upper extremity of the femur. The vertebras 
may be traced along the whole length of the column, but are 
in no part of it well defined. Of the os sacrum, the superior 
portion only is distinct: it is disunited from the last vertebra 
and the ilium, and driven upwards. The left os ilium is nearly 
complete, but shattered, and one of the fragments depressed 
below the level of the rest: the ossa pubis, though well de- 
fined, are gradually lost in the mass of the stone. On the 
right side, the os innominatum is completely shattered, and 
the fragments are sunk ; but towards the acetabulum, part of 
its internal cellular structure is discernible.
