The elements of the carpus are distinguished for length, and for re- 

 duction of width. The anterior faces of all are considerably longer than 

 broad, but the longest faces of the cuneiform, scaphoid, and trapezoides 

 are antero-posterior. The facets are as usual in the carpus ; scaphoid £ ; 

 lunar £ ; cuneiform f ; trapezium \ ; trapezoides \ ; magnum ij ; unciform 

 f . The cuneiform has a rather L-shaped external face. The pisiform 

 has two proximal facets and is enlarged and thickened distally ; pressed 

 inwards it reaches the scaphoid. The trapezium is a small subdiscoid 

 bone with convex outer face. The magnum is as broad as deep in front, 

 where its surface is swollen ; it is produced behind into a spatulate de- 

 curved hook. The unciform has a narrow sub-acute hook behind, with 



wide base.

The metacarpals are quite slender. The first only is wanting ; the 

 third is rather stouter than the others, while the fourth is considerably 

 the most slender. Its distal extremity is oblique with prominent median 

 keel, which is wanting on the superior aspect. The proximal facets of 

 these bones are respectively (2d) 2, (3d) 2, (4th) 1, (5th) 1. There is a 

 short shallow groove near the proximal front of No. 3. The phalanges 

 corresponding are lost in the specimen.
