THE 
YOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
ZOOLOGY. 
REPORT on the Human Crania and other Bones of the Skeletons collected 
during the Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger, in the Years 1873-76. 
By Sir William Turne r, Knt., M.B., LL.D., F.R.SS. L. & E., 
Professor of Anatomy in the University of Edinburgh, Foreign 
Member of the Anthropological Society of Paris. 
PART II.— THE BONES OF THE SKELETON. 
The Crania having been described in the First Part of this Report (Zool. Cliall. Exp., 
part xxix., 1884), I shall now proceed to the consideration of the characters of the 
other bones of the skeleton. In my inquiries into this division of the subject, as in the 
study of the crania, I have not restricted myself to the examination of the bones brought 
home by the Challenger. I have also studied a valuable series of human skeletons of 
various races, some of which have been for a long period in the Anatomical Museum of 
the University of Edinburgh, having been collected by my predecessors in the Chair of 
Anatomy, Professors Alexander Monro tertius and John Goodsir, whilst others have been 
obtained by myself during the last twenty years. 
In the course of this inquiry I have also consulted the previous literature on the same 
subject, so far as I have had access to it, and have endeavoured, as far as the material at 
my command would admit, to make this part of the Report an essay on the Comparative 
Osteology of those Races of Men whose bones are described in this Report.
