In UNGULATA VERA the pelvis is generally rather long and narrow. The ilium is flattened and expanded in front (fig. 103, 8), but becomes much narrower and more cylindrical before reaching the acetabulum. Both pubis and ischium contribute to the symphysis which is often very long. The ischia are large and have prominent tuberosities, especially in Artiodactyles. In most Ruminantia there is a deep depression, the supra-acetabular fossa above the acetabulum, but this is not found in the Suina or Tylopoda. SUBUNGULATA. In _Procavia_ the pelvis is long and narrow, and bears resemblance to that in Artiodactyles. The Proboscidea have a very large pelvis set nearly at right angles to the vertebral column; the ilium is very wide, having expanded iliac[1] and gluteal[1] surfaces, and a narrow sacral[176] surface. The pubes and ischia are rather small, but both meet their fellows in the symphysis. _Uintatherium_ (suborder Amblypoda) also has a large and vertically placed pelvis (fig. 108) with a much expanded ilium. The pelvis however differs from that of the Proboscidea in the fact that the ischia do not meet in a ventral symphysis. In many RODENTIA the ilia have their gluteal, iliac, and sacral surfaces of nearly equal extent; in the Hares, however, the gluteal and iliac surfaces are confluent. The pubes and ischia are always well developed and sometimes, as in the Hares, the acetabular bone also. In these animals the pubis does not take part in the formation of the acetabulum, and the ischium bears on its outer side a well-marked ischial tuberosity. In the CARNIVORA the pelvis is long and narrow. The iliac surfaces (fig. 78, A, 5) are very small and the sacral large; the crest or supra-iliac border is formed by the union of the sacral and gluteal surfaces. The symphysis is long and includes part of both pubis and ischium. The ischial tuberosity (fig. 78, A, 10) is often well marked, and sometimes as in _Viverra_ the acetabular bone is distinct. In the Pinnipedia the pelvic symphysis is little developed, or sometimes not developed at all, and the obturator foramina are remarkably large. In some INSECTIVORA such as _Galeopithecus_, there is a long pelvic symphysis, in others such as _Erinaceus_ and _Centetes_, it is very short, in others again such as _Talpa_ and _Sorex_, there is no pelvic symphysis. The acetabular bone is exceptionally large in _Talpa_ and _Sorex_. In CHIROPTERA the pelvis is small and narrow, and in the great majority of cases the two halves do not meet in a ventral symphysis. The pubis has a strongly developed pectineal process, which occasionally unites with a process from the ilium enclosing a large pre-acetabular foramen.
