1910 - 11 .] Bone Growth in absence of Functioning Testicles. Ill 
the cartilages at the symphysis and at the sacro-iliac articulations. The 
measurements given in the accompanying table were made after maceration. 
The measurements show — 
1. That the pelvis is large in every direction. 
2. That the increase in breadth is slightly greater than the increase in 
length. 
3. That the sacrum has increased slightly more in breadth than in 
length. 
4. That the iliac bones are uniformly increased. To the eye they are 
slightly less convex outward than usual. 
The characters of the pelvis of subject A 9, like those of his vertebral 
column, place him in a position midway between the normal and the giant 
types, for in giants the pelvis is very large in every direction, but especially 
in breadth. 
In the giant Magrath, Professor Cunningham (8) found a greatly 
increased sacral breadth to be responsible for a truly enormous increase in 
the pelvic breadth. Langer (4), in his work on giants, lays particular stress 
upon their great breadth of hips. Pelvic breadth is indeed one of the 
most striking characteristics of living giants. 
The ossification of the sacrum is incomplete. The lateral epiphysial 
plates have not yet joined. In the innominate bone the epiphyses for the 
crest of the ilium, the tuberosity of the ischium, and the symphysis, crest 
and spine of the pubis have not yet joined.

1. The Clavicle . — The clavicle is of unusual shape ; its acromial end 
is very broad. The measurements of the bone and comparative figures are 
shown in Tables XIV. and XV.
