During the third year the head of the hu-merus increases rather rapidly in size. Theupper end of the shaft takes on the appear-ance of a double inclined plane, higher nearthe middle and sloping downward to eitherside. At this time there is a shadow on theouter and lower aspect of the epiphysis forthe head, which may be ossification within aseparate epiphysis for the greater tuberos-ity or it may be that the greater tuberosityis a downward growth from the originalepiphysis for the head. In the pictures noclear line of demarcation can be made outbetween the shadows. Beginning ossification within the coracoidis evident at three years. In order to avoid errors of interpretationin roentgenograms of the shoulder one musttake several views. Ossification within
