Gryps, and differs from Vnltur. It also lias the pneumatic 

 foramen on the under surface of the centrum, which is 

 present in the former. The anterior tubercle on the 

 inferior surface of the centrum is more developed than in 

 G. fuhnts. The total length of the centrum in the middle 

 line is 0,029, and the transverse diameter of its anterior 

 surface 0,023.

 These specimCiS agree very closely with the corresponding 

 vertebroe of Gyps fidvus, having a pneumatic foramen on 

 either side of the centrum immediately below the lower 

 transverse process, and none in the middle line. In 

 Viiltur there are no foramina in these situations. 



49354 b. The posterior extremity of the centrum of a late cervical 

 vertebra.

The ulna differs from that of Gijj^s by the much deeper depression 

 for the reception of the head of the radius, and the more sharply 

 defined surface for the insertion of the brachiaUs anticus ; the 

 prominences for the secondaries are more developed than in 

 Gy^Metiis.

38339. The imperfect right ulna; from the Pleistocene of the 

 Cavern of Bruniquel, near Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne), 

 France. This specimen, of which the proximal extremity 

 is slightly imperfect and the distal portion is wanting, is 

 considerably larger than the ulna of Gypaehis barhatus 

 from the same cavern figured by Milne-Edwards in his 

 ' Oiseaux Fossiles de la Prance,' pi. clxxxviii. figs. 6-8.
