at the posterior end of these branches on exterior side is connected to them by ligaments at the pelvic bones - There is a kind of cartilage at each end of the bones which makes them seem much longer than they really are - The pelvic bone is only connected to the penis by ligament at its very posterior end. The remainder of the bone is embedded in the fat of skin about the penis, but has no ligamentary attachments. The bones do not lie quite horizontally in the body, but stand a slight arc; their ends somewhat further in to- ward the spinal column than are the posterior ends - There they lie a little obliquely to the general axis of the body - With the anterior part. arms of the bones are slightly curved outward or directed vis: toward the outside of the body. The posterior ends of the pelvic bones as they lie in position are 540 mill. apart. The front ends are 600 mill. apart.
