The external surface is uneven, partly convex, and partly concave;it is bounded above by the crest; below by a prominent arch, whichforms the upper segment of the acetabulum ; and before and behind,by the anterior and posterior borders. Crossing this surface in anarched direction, from the anterior extremity of the crest to a notchupon the lower part of the posterior border, is a groove, which lodgesthe gluteal vessels and nerve, the superior curved line; and belowthis, at a short distance, a rough ridge, the inferior curved line. Thesurface included between the superior curved line and the crest, givesorigin to
