of Edinburgh, Session 1881 - 82 . 
head of the 1st rib articulated with the body of the 7th cervical, its 
tubercle with the transverse process of the 1st dorsal. From behind 
forwards the head articulated with the body of the vertebra in front 
of that, with the transverse process of which the tubercle articulated ; 
but whilst the head of the 7 th left rib articulated with the body of 
only the 6th dorsal vertebras, that of the 7th right rib articulated 
with the body of both the 6th and 7th dorsals. The 8th, 9th, and 
10th ribs articulated with the transverse processes of their corre- 
sponding vertebrae. 
Hyoid Bone consisted of a body and great cornua anchylosed 
together. It had a well-marked U form, and measured 6J inches 
between the tips of the horns. 
Sternum . — This bone was 19 J inches in length and 6§ inches at the 
broadest part, and it diminished in transverse diameter from before 
backwards. The ventral aspect was slightly convex, and with a 
faint mesial keel. Each lateral border was festooned, being most 
projecting where it articulated with the ribs. The sternum 
consisted of five segments ; the 4th and 5th were anchylosed 
together, the others articulated with each other laterally, but in the 
mesial third a rounded aperture of some size was interposed, and this 
aperture also existed between the 4th and 5th segments. This 
sternum corresponded with the first Goteborg skeleton in the anchy- 
losis of these two segments, but differed both from the Brussels 
skeleton, in which they were still separate, and in which the 5 th 
was divided into two lateral halves, and from the second Goteborg 
skeleton, in which the sternum possessed only four segments. This 
sternum did not display that marked inequality in the height of the 
opposite sides of the bone seen in the Brussels skeleton. Arti- 
culations for five pairs of ribs were at the lateral borders, one 
on the manubrium and four at the junction of the sternal seg- 
ments. 
Scapula . — This was a broad triangular plate-like bone, measuring 
8 inches from the glenoid fossa to the vertebral border, and 12 J 
inches from the anterior to the posterior angle. The coracoid process 
was 3|- inches long • the acromion was 4 inches long, and 1 *7 inch 
wide, being twice as broad as the coracoid. 
Humerus . — The epiphyses of this bone were anchylosed to the 
shaft. The bone was only 5f inches long, and the surfaces of the
