    IS ancc of the Ciesavian section. (3tliev causes of deformity are fractures of the ^lelvis, extensive ulcerations of the acetabula, and morbid growths in different jiarts of the cavity. Sometimes the arch of the jmbis and the symphysi.s are of a male character, but this is rare. Fig. 6. 27. Funnel-shaped Pelvis.—This is not a very common variety. In this case the cavity contracts gradually from the brim to the outlet, giving it some- what of a funnel shape. At the outlet, dimuiutioii is most common in the transverse diameter. The tuberosities of the ischium approach too near each other, and narrow also the width of the pubic arch. In this way, in addition to the transverse diameter, the antero-posterior is also lessened. Anchylosis of the sacro-coccygeal articula- tion, and a too gi’eat curvature of the lower part of the sacrum forward, diminish the outlet also antero- ])Osteriorly.
