THE OSSA INNOMINATA

The total number of adult innominate bones of the Munsee, available

for examination and measurement, is 37, and in general the bones are

remarkable for their regular development, with complete freedom from

pathological conditions and from the more important anomalies. They are

also of medium dimensions and weight throughout.

The measurements of the bones show that in the paired specimens, in

both sexes, they are of nearly the same dimensions on the two sides.

The male bones exceed those of the female in both height and breadth,

and especially in the former, but relatively to its height the female

innominate is broader than that of the male, as a result of which the

innominate height-breadth index is higher in the females.
