As this is the most important of the long-bones, a number of
measurements besides the length were taken, as indicated below.
The mean bicondylar length of the Munsee femora, taking both sides
together, is 45.5 cm. in the males and 42 cm. in the females. Judging
from observations on whites and on other Indians, these lengths
correspond to the average stature of approximately 167 cm. in the male
and 156 cm. in the female Munsee. These figures are very close to those
obtained by the help of the well-known Manouvrier and Rochet tables,
and may therefore be safely accepted. They show that the Munsee were
somewhat above the medium, but not really tall in stature.
