    (Aus der internationalen Monatsschrift f. Anat, u. Phys. 188$' @ Notes on two scapulae R. J. Anderson in Gralway. (With two woodcuts.) No. 1. A scapula (left) of a female subject has the following measurements: The breadth of the axillary border just below the glenoid fossa, is 12.mm, and 18 mm below the same fossa, the breadth is 10 mm. The border continues to diminish in breadth as for as the lower third of the bone. A spine arises from the posterior part of the axillary border at a distance of 25 mm from the glenoid cavity. This process measures 6 mm, is directed outwards and downwards and is flattened from before backwards. This process corresponds very nearly to the lower limit of the caput longum m. quadrigemini. A large fossa occupies the border above the last mentioned pro- cess and by a funnel-like prolongation reaches beneath the latter. ThiS' fossa measures 9x9 mm by 6 mm depth. A smaller fossa is situated below and behind the spine: and is perforated by four vascular foramina one of which leads into a canal which runs outwards and opens on the surface of the bone.
