Jultguta nob.Tt-^ralanlii.T (Gmclin'). 

 Syn. Anas nova'-seelandue, Gmelin ■.

 approximate size of F. cristata, is provisionally referred to this 

 species, of which there is no skeleton in the Museum for comparison.

32245. The left humerus, wanting the distal extremity ; from the 

 superficial deposits of Waingongoro, Xorth Island. 



Walter JIantdl Collection. Purchased, about 1S55. 



Fuligula arvernensis, Lydekker (n. sp.). 



Known by the imperfect humerus, which is of nearly the same 

 length as that of Anas hlanchardi, but much more slender. 

 Hab. Europe (France). 



A. 159. Fragment of rock showing the palmar aspect of the 

 imperfect right humerus and part of the shaft of the ulna ; 

 from the Lower Miocene (Upper Oligocene) of Puy-de- 

 Dome. The length of the bone is 0,078. Compared with 

 the humerus of Anas hlanchardi, it is at once distinguished 

 by its more slender proportions, the straight profile of the 

 external half of the head, the smaller bicipital surface, and 

 the larger and more defijied surface for the brachialis 

 anticus ; in all of which respects it agrees with the corre- 

 sponding bone of existing species. The specimen differs 

 from the distal portion of the humerus of Anas natator. 

 Its imperfect condition precludes a satisfactorj- figure,
