The total number of sterna present is 14, 8 males and 6 females. In
13 of these specimens the manubrium is completely detached, which in
general is the most usual condition, while in the 14th there is partial
attachment. Much the same condition was found by the writer in the
Indian sterna from Arkansas and Louisiana.
The measurements of the sternum, given in the next table, are found
to be moderate throughout. Unfortunately there are few available
measurements of the sternum in other races for comparison.
