Below and on the inner side of the superior spine of the ihum, but separated from it by a shallow notch, is the inferior spinous process, a prominence which varies considerably in size in different sub- jects. Internal to this inferior spine, and above the acetabulum, is a second and deeper notch, beyond which the bone again rises (ilio-pubic eminence^), but a third time becomes depressed and slightly excavated as it slopes towards the spine of the pube&. The outer and middle notches are filled by iliacus internus and psoas^ muscles, which here pass out from the iliac fossa accompanied by several nerves, and by the lymphatics passing, in the opposite direction, from the thigh and from the parietes of the abdomen.
