Abstract
The os coxae was collected from guinea fowl and pigeon by wet maceration
method to study the gross anatomical features. The os coxae was formed by
ilium, ischium and pubis, they were fused together and located on either
side of the lumbo sacral mass. The major differences in os coxae of pigeon
were incomplete canales ilioneurales, dorsal median ridge was formed by
spinous process of lumbo sacral mass, absence of pectineal process and all
the three bones were involved in the formation of acetabulum whereas in
guinea fowl the canales ilioneurales was complete, dorsal ridge was formed
only by pre acetabular part of ilium, pectineal process was present and only
ilium and ischium formed the acetabulum.
