males are more gracile than those of the males. It is obvious that all female long bones are more gracile and more round on the right side than on the left. The male right humeri, ulnae and tibiae are more gracile and flater than the left ones. The right radii and femora of the males are more robust and more round than the left ones. The stature of males are medium tall (165. 32 cm) and that of female are big-medium tall (157. 30 cm), according to the averages. The mean value of the weight of males is 64.67 kg and that of females is 58. 55 kg. ANATOMICAL VARIATIONS AND ABNORMALITIES Caudal sacrum bifidum occurred in 8 cases. It was observed on 6 male and 2 female sacri. Complete sacrum bifidum occurred on one male sacrum. Perforatio fossae olecrani humeri was detected in 3 cases (2 females, 1 male). Both sides of perforatio fossae olecrani humeri were seen on one female humerus. I observed sac rali satio on 2 male and 1 female skeletons. PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES Spondylosis was detected only on male skeletons (6 cases). Owing to the diseases of articulations an intense arthrosis deformans occurred on the facies articularis of the hip-bone, on the ramus inferior ossis pubis and on the left caput femoris of one male (Inventory number: 7 2. 27. 1). Exostoses of the collum femoris and arthrosis deformans of the extremitas sternalis of the right claviculae appeared to a lesser degree. I should mention that the right clavicula is missing. Changes were caused by arthrosis deformans on the articular surface of the costae of a male (Inv. number: 72. 24. 1). Less expressed arthritis deformans occurred on the right caput humeri of a female (Inv. number: 72.1. 1) and on the left caput humeri of a female (Inv. number: 72. 15. 1). Status post fracturam was detected on the left clavicula of a male (Inv. number:. 72.38. 1) and fractura compléta on the right ulna of a male (Inv. number: 72. 45. 1). In summarizing the above-mentioned facts, it may be established that anatomical variations and pathological changes occurred more frequently on the male than the female skeletons.
