The head of thefemur is seen in the acetabulum, the broad plate of the iliumabove and the pubis and ischium as cartilaginous rods of almostequal width below, the pubis in front and the ischiimi behindthe acetabuhmi. In this stage the pehdc girdle, in this andmany other species of birds, consists of three separate elementson each side in essentially reptilian relations. THE SKELETOX 439 In the chick at a corresponding age the ihum is much moreextensive, and the ischium is united with it by cartilage- thepubis, however, has only a membranous connection with theilium (contra Johnson). In the course of development the distalends of the ischium and pubis rotate backwards until the twoelements come to lie substantially parallel to the ilium (Figs.242 and 249).
