_The Sacrum_
Aspect normal with the following exception: There are distinct
intervertebral disks between the different segments (5 segments);
there are deep lateral incisures in places where the lateral processes
unite, and the fourth and fifth segments are entirely separated (in one
piece) from the upper three (four small spots of coossification along
the posterior border of the articulation are visible). The articular
processes of the first and second sacral segments are similar in form
to the lumbar, and form open articulations. There is a large foramen
situated below the spinous processes of the first and third segment,
and a smaller beneath the second. Coccyx absent. Curvature medium.

_Bones of the Pelvis and Lower Limbs_
All the bones of the pelvis and lower limbs of normal shape and medium
size. Pelvis apparently that of a female (subpubic angle 100°). Bones
well united, all traces of the union in acetabulum effaced. Epiphyses
ununited except on the ischiatic protuberances, where bony union just
begins. Above the fossa acetabuli (8 mm. postero-superiorly from the
uppermost edge of the fossa) there is in both acetabula an irregularly
triangular depression of about 2 water-drops capacity (accessory
tendon?).
