The average width here is18 mm., and the average distance from a 104 mm. The last width is the greatest obtainable in the acromial third ofthe bone, and averages 21 mm. With these widths the average contour of the left female claviclefrom above may be completed (fig. 3), and in the same way, by takingthe proper measurements recorded in the tables, the contours of themale bones (figs. 4 and 6) may be obtained.

The contour of the bone from in front shows so little constant curva-ture that I have not thought it worth while to estimate; though nodoubt it could be done in the same way in which the antero-posterior Proportions and Charaoteristics of the Modern English Clavicle 77 curves were measured; sometimes there is a distinct convexity upwardsof the sternal two-thirds of the bone, while at others the central axisis practically a straight Kio. 3.—Average of 64 left clavicles, 9
