Con-versely, the postscapular fossa is very wide superiorly and narrowbelow with the glenoid border converging sharply with the spine. Thespine itself rises very high with its crest deflected posteriorly in thelower part, presenting an increasingly broad lateral surface towardthe acromion. The tip of the acromion projects downward and for-ward slightly beyond the glenoid cavity but is not bifurcate. Theglenoid cavity is a nearly oval-shaped concavity, transversely somewhatrestricted forward. The coracoid portion is set off medially from the NO. 10 TILLODONTIA—GAZIN 75 anterior extremity of the glenoid surface and, although fused to thescapula, it is separated from the glenoid surface rather distinctivelyby a deep notch or groove. The subscapular fossa shows no important.
