PELVIC LIMBS. 77 piece, as made up of ilium (Fig. 55, /), ischium (//), and pubis (///). The ilium (/) is somewhat contracted at the middle and broader at its ends. One end enters into the acetabulum (^^- 55' <'0 '^'^^-^ forms about one-fifth the articular surface. This end is also the thickest part of the bone. The lateral surface of the ilium is concave for the attachment of muscles. The me- dial surface is smooth over its acetabular half and rough over its sacral half The rough portion is marked at its junction with the smooth portion by the ear-shaped auricular impression by which the bone articulates directly with the sacrum. The caudal half of that part of the medial surface craniad of the auricular impression gives attachment to the ilio-sacral ligaments which bind the ilium to the sacrum. The dorsal border is straight at its cranial end and fig. 55. —Innominaik. J5one of concave and rounded at its caudal ^""^^t *^^ Ventrolateral View. end.
