(b) Dorsal, (c) Anterior. Pelvis (text-fig. 21).—The anterior iliac edge is slightly everted. There is hardly any posterior process. The iliac blade is long and its outer surface moderately concave—with the concavity extending down the shaft. The ischial " shaft " is long. The posterior ischial border is straight. The whole anterior pubic border is turned downwards to form a rampart. There is no tongue and no notch lateral to the symphysis. Four sacral vertebrae are coalesced. The first rib is the strongest.
