A fragment from the work by Bischoff TLW. Beiträge zur Anatomie des Gorilla (1879). The paper discusses the size of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) of gorilla.

 

Quote p. 18.

5. Muskeln der unteren Extremität.

Ich erwähne zunächst, dass mein Gorilla an dem mehr als eine Halbkugel bildenden Schenkelkopf ein ansehnlich langes Ligam. teres besitzt.


Translation

[Eng]

5. Muscles of the lower limbs.

First of all, I would like to point out that my gorilla has a rather long round ligament on the head of the femur, which forms more than one hemisphere.
