1897 Proc. Royal Soc. 61 400 Platymerism is more frequently exhibited in femora with low than with high pilastric indices.

1908 T. Mollison in R. Pumpelly Explor. Turkestan II. viii. xxii. 453 The index of the diaphysis cross-section amounts here to 85.3 and 82.3 respectively; it is therefore at the limit between platymerism and eurymerism.

1934 J. Cameron Skeleton Brit. Neolithic Man x. 165 A group of characteristic features that are more or less regularly present as concomitant phenomena of platymerism.
