Both thigh-bones, perfect. These, like the skull, and all the other bones, are characterized by their unusual thickness, and the great development of all the elevations and depressions for the attachment of muscles. In the Anatomical Museum at Bonn, under the designation of 'Giant's-bones,' are some recent thigh-bones, with which in thickness the foregoing pretty nearly correspond, although they are shorter.

Diameter of lower articular end, from one condyle to the other...89 = 3.5"...87 = 3.4". Diameter of femur in the middle...33 = 1.2"...30 = 1.1". "2. A perfect right humerus, whose size shows that it belongs to the thigh-bones. mm. Length...312 = 12.3". Thickness in the middle...26 = 1.0". Diameter of head...49 = 1.9". "Also a perfect right radius of corresponding dimensions, and the upper-third of a right ulna corresponding to the humerus and radius. "3. A left humerus of which the upper-third is wanting, and which is so much slenderer than the right as apparently to belong to a distinct individual; a left 'ulna', which, though complete, is pathologically deformed, the coronoid process being so much enlarged by bony growth, that flexure of the elbow beyond a right angle must have been impossible; the anterior fo
