Translation
[Eng]
The head has a strong bulge upwards which gradually decreases towards
the bottom. Its position is oblique, according to the oblique position of the
neck. The bulge represents only three parts of a sphere, and the whole is
covered with cartilage in its fresh state. Slightly below the middle of this
bulge is a strong impression from the round suspensory ligament (Lig. teres).
Very clear traces indicate that it was a point of attachment.
