None of the cervical vertebrae were to be seen ; fragments of 
eleven dorsal and five lumber were easily recognised, as well as the 
upper half of a strong well-formed sacrum. 
The sternum was entire with the exception of the lower half of the 
pre-sternum and the whole meta-sternum. The first segment of 
the meso-sternum, which normally anchyloses to the rest of the 
meso-sternum below at from twenty-five to thirty years, and to the 
pre-sternum above at about forty years, was here separate, and had 
at no time been anchylosed on either end. 
Fragments of but a few ribs, and these unimportant, were 
obtained. 
The innominate bones were incomplete, specially at the pubic 
arch, so that no accurate estimate could be formed, either of the 
capacity or of the form of the pelvic cavity. There was no trace 
of epiphysial suture. 
Of the two femurs one was almost entire, and measured in length 
18f inches. Both were well marked, though not indicative of very 
special muscular strength. 
All the remaining bones of the lower limb were more or less 
incomplete, with exception of the left os calcis, scaphoid, and first 
metatarsal, all of which were unusually large and strongly marked. 
The scaphoid shows a large and well- formed facet, just external to 
that for the external cuneiform, and apparently for articulation with 
the cuboid. 
No phalanges of the foot were got. Sufficient fragments of both 
clavicles and scapulae were got to show that they were by no means 
powerfully marked. One humerus, almost complete, measured 
about 13J inches. All the bones of the upper limb were more or 
less incomplete with the exception of three phalanges of the first 
row. 
It is probable that the subject was a male, evidenced specially by 
the prominence of the frontal sinuses, and the general size and 
strength of the different bones. His age at death seems to have 
been from twenty-five to thirty, judging specially from the condi- 
tion of the sternum. His height must have been about four feet 
nine inches. Of fairly muscular build, and specially developed in 
the lower limbs.
