great development of all the elevations and depressions for the
attachment of muscles. In the Anatomical Museum at Bonn, under the
designation of 'Giant's-bones,' are some recent thigh-bones, with which
in thickness the foregoing pretty nearly correspond, although they are
shorter.

"Also a perfect right radius of corresponding dimensions, and the
upper-third of a right ulna corresponding to the humerus and radius.

"3. A left humerus of which the upper-third is wanting, and which is so
much slenderer than the right as apparently to belong to a distinct
individual; a left 'ulna', which, though complete, is pathologically
deformed, the coronoid process being so much enlarged by bony growth,
that flexure of the elbow beyond a right angle must have been
impossible; the anterior fossa of the humerus for the reception of the
