Comparative data on the innominate bones are given in the next table.
The Arkansas and Louisiana specimens, as well as those of other
Indians, agree closely with those of the Munsee. The innominate of
the whites, on the other hand, is both higher and especially broader,
hence it shows a higher index in both sexes. Emmons, from his 217
Indian female pelves, obtained as an average height of the innominate
19.3 cm., and as the breadth 14.5 cm., with a mean index of 74.8.
These results agree closely with those of the writer and strengthen
the evidence that the innominate bones in the Indians average somewhat
smaller in both dimensions, and are also somewhat narrower relatively
than those in the whites.
