GENERAL OBSERVATIONS

The total number of adult femora in condition for measurement is 60—33

males, 27 females.

The bones, as a rule, are normally developed and with one exception

free from anomalies. The exception is the left femur of male subject

no. 285,301, which shows a large spinous process on the mesial border

of the bone above the internal condyle (_proc. supracondyloideus

femoris_), as exhibited in plate 23. The linea aspera, while mostly

well developed, is in no case exceptionally high. The curvature and

torsion show nothing exceptional.
