One hundred and sixty four right and 187 left, dry, fully ossified human ulnae have been studied to derive regression formulae for the establishment of the total length of the ulna from the upper and lower segments, the line of division between the segments being the lowest level of insertion of the brachialis muscle. Also, 175 right and 179 left, dry, fully ossified tibiae have been studied to derive regression formulae for establishment of the total length of the tibia from the upper and lower segments, the line of division being the lower limit of the soleal line. All the formulae derived are statistically highly significant and have a high degree of prediction, and are valuable in establishing the stature of an individual.
