The truepelvis is all that por-tion which is situatedbeneath the linea ilio-pectinea. This lineforms the margin orbrim of the true pelvis,while the included areais called the inlet. Theform of the inlet isheart-shaped, obtuselypointed in front at thesymphysis pubis, ex-panded on each side,and encroached uponbehind by a projectionof the upper part of the sacrum, which is named the cavity is somewhat encroached upon at each side by a smoothquadrangular plane of bone, corresponding with the internal surfaceof the acetabulum, and leading to the spine of the ischium.

It is bounded infront by the convergence of the rami of the ischium and pubes, whichconstitut
