The floor is concave from side to side and slopes decidedly less than in the sow. The superior ischiatic spines are more incurved, and the ischial arch is much narrower and deeper. The femur has a relatively wide and massive shaft, on which four surfaces might be recognized. The principal nutrient foramen is situated in the proximal Lateral condyle Spine of tibia Tuberosity .^-^< Head of fibula Shaft of fibula Interosseous space Groove for tendons Lateral malleolus.
