The surface of bone includedbetween the middle and inferior curved lines, is concave from above downwards,convex from before backwards, and affords attachment to the Gluteus minimusmuscle. Beneath the inferior curved line, and corresponding to the upper part ofthe acetabulum, is a smooth eminence (sometimes a depression), to which isattached the reflected tendon of the Rectus femoris muscle. The Internal Surface (fig. 98) of the ilium is bounded above by the crest,below by a prominent line, the linea-ileo pectinea, and before and behind by theanterior and posterior borders. It presents anteriorly a large smooth concave ii8 OSTEOLOGY. surface called the internal iliac fossa, or venter of the ilium; it lodges theIliacus muscle, and presents at its lower part the orifice of a nutritious canal.Behind the iliac fossa is a rough surface, divided into two portions, a superior and gj.—Right Os Innominatum.

The surface of the crest isbroad, and divided into an external lip, an internal lip, and an intermediate OS INNOMINATUM. space.
