Quote p. 108

Bei Felis Tigris umfasst das Ligamentum capsulare Capituli Femoris den Schenkelhals nur wenig, ist an der äussern und hintern Seite stark, an der innern Seite schwach. Das Ligamentum Acetabuli ist stark, aber das Labrum cartilagineum fehlt. Das Ligamentum teres ist 10 Linien lang, am Ursprunge in der Fovea Acetabuli 8 Linien, an der Insertion am Schenkelkopf Linien breit.

In Felis Tigris, the femoral capsular ligament covers only a small part of the femoral neck and is strong on the outer and posterior sides and weak on the inner side. The acetabular ligament is strong, but the cartilaginous lip is absent. The round ligament is 10 lines long, 8 lines at its origin in the acetabulum fossa, and one line wide at its attachment to the femoral head.

Quote p. 115

Bei Auchenia Lama ist das Ligamentum capsulare fibrosum Capituli Femoris an der vordern äussern und obern Seite sehr stark. Man könnte sagen, es wäre das Ligamentum ileo- und ischio-femorale unter einander verschmolzen. Das Ligamentum teres ist ebenfalls stark, einen halben Zoll lang und an seiner Insertion am Oberschenkel 3 Linien breit. Die Kapsel umfasst den Schenkelhals weiter als beim Tiger. Das Labrum cartilagineum fehlt.

In Auchenia Lama the fibrous ligament of the femoral head is very strong on the anterior and superior side. We can say that the iliofemoral and ischiofemoral ligaments are fused. The round ligament is also strong, being half an inch long and 3 lines wide at its insertion into the thigh. The capsule covers the femoral neck wider than that of a tiger. The cartilaginous lip is absent.

The Solar System

  The Solar System As a result of a mysterious catastrophic event about 13.8 billion years ago, the Universe was formed (2012HawkingS; 2020AghanimN_RoudierG). In it, giant cloud-like accumulations of plasma, molecules and dust became the points of star formation (2011MurrayN). A series of their generations, igniting, functioning and collapsing, led to the appearance of various chemical elements through staged reactions of nuclear fusion (1998IshkhanovBS_TutynIA). The Sun was born for at least ten million years by compressing a concentration of molecular gas and parts of the most ancient stars (2010HanslmeierA). As a result, 4.5682-4.567 billion years ago, the Solar System self-organized, at the dawn of its life consisting of a central luminary and a protoplanetary gas and dust disk (2013HazenRM). At least the oldest meteorite inclusions were fused 4.568-4.565 billion years ago, and at most three million years later, accretion of chondrite globules occurred (1995AllègreCJ_GöpelC). T...
