It is here seen that the third trochanter is strictly absent in
less than a third of the male as well as of the female bones of the
Munsee; a small to pronounced oblong tuberosity exists in 26 per cent
of the males, and practically the same proportion (25.5 per cent)
of the females, while a rounded tuberosity is found in 6 per cent
of the males and in 7 per cent of the females. Among the previously
reported Arkansas and Louisiana Indian femora, the frequency of the
third trochanter in most of its forms was somewhat greater. Among the
ordinary American whites, it will be observed from the above figures,
there is in both sexes a more frequent complete absence of the third
trochanter in any form than in the Munsee; there is less frequency
of the moderate ridge and moderate oblong tuberosity; and a greater
frequency of pronounced grades of both ridge and oblong tuberosity,
while the occurrence of round tuberosity is about even in the two
groups. Subtrochanteric fossa in place of or beside a prominence was
observed in Munsee adults in five cases—four males and one female. In
adolescents it was more frequent.
