47459 b. The right tarso-metatarsus. This specimen agrees with 

 the corresponding type bone of the opposite side, figured 

 by Milne-Edwards, op. cit. pi. Ixxxv. figs. 5, 6 ; exhibit- 

 ing the same great compression, the sharp posterior border 

 of the middle of the shaft, and the contraction in the 

 profile of the latter immediately above the inner trochlea.

Palselodus minutus, Milne-Edwards \ 



Founded upon a tarso-metatarsus of slightly larger dimensions 

 than the type of P. gracilipes, and said to be distinguished from the 

 latter by the less degree of compression of the shaft and the form 

 of the distal trochleoe. A large series of specimens is required to 

 prove the constancy of these difterences.
