In Hong Kong,as in many Asian countries,there is not enough countryside to have everyone buried in cemeteries.Therefore they require reburial of the human bones only in an ossarium,a wall that consists of many cubicles for a "shoe box"-like concrete box that holds all of the bones intact but disarticulated.The size of this box is about ten inches high,twelve inches wide,and about two feet long.What are the largest skeletal structures that require that the box be this minimal size?
