Below the inferior spine is another indentation, wider and less deeply marked, and forming part of the overhanging edge of the cavity for the thigh bone, and in which a muscle lies. To this succeeds be- low, another rounded, less strongly marked prominence, in which the ilium and pubes are united, called the ilio-pcctineal eminence (e). From this point commences the ob- lique or inward direction of this border, which is for about two inches smooth and rounded for a muscle to glide over, and then presents a fourth well marked, acute, forward projection called the spine of the pubis (/), which is continued by a rough strongly marked ridge, the crest of the pubi* (/, g), to the ter- mination of this border in an abrupt right angle, the angle of the pubis (g). All these eminences result from the implantation of the tendons of muscles of the leg or abdomen. The inferior border, composed partly by the pubis, but principally by the ischium, here commences. It is arranged first in a rough, indented, plane, oval, and vertical surface, which in the living bone is united by fibro- cartilage to innominate bone of the opposite side, and forms the symphysis of the pubis ; — avfityvfit, to grow together (h). The posterior border of this articular surface is often raised into a ridge, projecting backwards, especially in old persons. Cruveilhier mentions one, observed in a woman who had borne many children, where this was a perfect crest. Be- low this point the border assumes a direction tending first downwards and outwards, and then, somewhat sharply, curving upwards and backwards. Just below the symphysis it pre- sents a sharp, rough, irregular ridge, with a considerable outward eversion, affording attach- ment to strong fasciae and muscles of the leg and perineum, and to the
