Abstract: The present study was conducted on one hip bone of Common palm civet cat (Paradoxurus hermaphrodites). The hip bone consisted of three bones viz., ilium, ischium and pubis. Those bones met to form an acetubulm. The ilium was composed of wing and body. The wing of the ilium was expended and it had pelvic surface, and gluteal surface. The body of the ilium took part in the formation of acetabulum. The iliac crest was strongly convex and thick whereas the gluteal surface was smooth and concave. The pelvic surface was consisted of sacral surface and auricular surface. The sacral surface was smooth and the auricular surface was rough. The iliopectinal line was extended from the auricular surface to the iliopubic eminences. Apart from those the ilium contained sacral tuber, cranial and caudal iliac spine, greater ischiatic spine and ventral gluteal line. The ischium was the caudal most bone among those bone and took part in the formation of ischial symphsis as well as acetabulum,.and obturator foramen. Apart from those ornament of ischium, it contained lesser ischiatic notch, ischiatic spine and tuber ischii. The lesser ischiatic notch was shallow compared to the greater ischiatic notch. The pubis was smallest bone among those three bones. Tubercle for psoas minor muscle (hypo axial muscle) was observed in the pectin of pubis.
