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.

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.
