This is an eminence elongated from before to behind, sharp on its summit, smooth inwardly, roughened outwardly, and continuous by its anterior extremity with the internal border of the bone; 3, Outwardly, two deep imprints for the insertion of the rectus muscle; 4, In front and inwards, the ilio--pectineal eminence, a small elongated pro- minence forming the most salient point of a kind of ridge (lineailio-pectinea) that insensibly subsides above on the inner face of the ilium, and is continued below by the anterior border of the pubis. Of the three angles of the ilium, the first is also termed the angle of the haunch, and the second the angle of the croup. Pdbis.—Situated between the ilium and ischium, elongated from side to Fi5.

Faces.—The superior, smooth and concave, concurs in forming the floor of the pelvis. It shows one or two nutrient foramina. The inferior is roughened, and marked throughout its length by a wide channel which reaches the bottom of the cotyloid cavity. This fissure lodges the pubio- femoral ligament and a very large vein. Borders.—The anterior is constituted by a thin rugged lip, which is curved upwards. The posterior, thick and conc
