The Munsee pelves available for measurement comprise those of six males
and ten females. They are free from all deformation, and present the
usual sexual characteristics with regard to massiveness, the flare of
the ilia, the subpubic angle, and the width of the great sciatic notch.
The articulated pelves, with a slight space left for the pubic
cartilage, gave measurements shown in the table below. The male pelvis,
it is seen, is somewhat larger than the female in both of its mean
external dimensions, and is also somewhat higher relatively, as a
result of which it shows a higher height-breadth index.
