462 HUMAN REMAINS FROM THE NORTH KURGAN. 
INDIVIDUAL II. 
The bones of this individual repeat in almost all points the forms found in 
individualI. Still, the development of thickness is more accentuated. This makes 
itself evident, for instance, in the length-breadth index of the talus, which amounts 
here to 86.8 and is therefore still: higher than in individual I. The torsion of the 
head is still less; the foot was therefore probably still less arched. The diver- 
gence of the neck and head is almost as strong as in I; it amounts to 29°. 
In the calcaneus the anterior inner joint-surface for the talus is as in individual 
I divided into 2 facets, of which the posterior one, lying on the widely projecting 
sustentaculum tali, is especially large. The joint-surface for the cuboid has also 
that more vertical position, but is, however, higher than in individual I; still here, 
too, the width-height index of only 71.9 remains far behind that of the European. 
INDIVIDUAL III. 
What interest us most here are the pieces of the tibize, of which unfortunately 
only the distal parts are preserved. ‘The left reaches fortunately just to the fora- 
men nutritivum, so that we can form an opinion of the lateral flattening. The 
index cnemicus amounts, at the height of the foramen nutritivum, to 66.7; it 
shows, therefore, a moderate platycnemism, but far from the degree shown in tibia 
I. Here, too, the index diminishes from above downward, so that the flattening 
in the middle of the diaphysis is still somewhat more marked than higher up. 
The index at this point amounts to 64.5. 
Here we find again on the lower end the joint-facet produced by squatting 
on the anterior surface, which corresponds with a facet on the lateral swelling 
of the talus. The last is not, however, connected with the normal joint-surface 
of the trochlea, but is separated from it by a depression of the neck. 
Of the fibula we have the lower half. It resembles wholly in the form of its 
malleolus that of individual I. The cross-section through its middle (fig. 494, g) 
is interesting, as it shows the strikingly wide posterior surface in contrast to the 
narrow one in the European (fig. 494, h). 
The angle of the talus-head with the longitudinal axis of the trochlea is large 
here also, a proof that we did not have to do with individual variations in the 
cases of individuals I and II. 
INDIVIDUAL IV. 
Unfortunately we have only some metatarsi; one can see from these that 
they probably belonged to a more solidly built person. The metatarsi I are con- 
siderably broader in proportion to length than in individual I. The index of 
basis width to length (measured as on individual I) amounts to 34.5 left and 36.4 
right. On the other hand the breadth index of the capitulum is 40.0, the same 
as on individual I. 
INDIVIDUAL V. 
Of this there are only 3 bones: a piece of the right femur, the right metatarsus 
I, and the right metatarsus II. The reasons for associating the three pieces have 
been given above.
