^rab. 1, The II [Sternum here was one entire bone, four Inches 
F * g ‘ 2 * d ° and 1 long ; about three and \ broad at the upper 
end, but towards the lower part, it was but one Inch. 
It had no Cartilago enfi - or fcutiformis , that I obfer- 
Ved. At the broad end Twasibmewhatdepreffed, and 
in the middle had a perforation ; both which I fuppofe 
were for the better adhefion of Mufcles. Dan. Major 
not taking notice of this, defcribes part of the os Hyoides 
for the os Sterni as is mentioned before.

five pretty large roundifh bones, joyned by Cartilages, 
and two oblong ones that feemed the Epipbyfes of the
