HjigopuS albu£i (Gmeliu'). 



Syn. Tetrao albus, Gmelin ^. 



Tetrao saliceti, Temminck ^. 



Somewhat larger than the next species, the humerus having an 

 average length of 0,061, and the coracoid of 0,0437. The coraeoid 

 may be distinguished from that of the latter by the larger proximal 

 extremity, and the deeper and more defined groove for the pectoralis 

 minor situated on the inner surface of the proximal end of the shaft. 



The closely allied L. scoifVitsusually attains still larger dimensions. 



Hah. Europe, N. Asia, and North America. 



The folloiving specimens were obtained from the Pleistocene of the 

 Cavern of Bruniquel, near Montauhan {Tarn-et-Garonne), 

 France ; and were purchased in 1864. 



38374. The right coracoid, with the proximal extremity and hyo- 

 sternal angle imperfect. Resembles the specimen figured 

 by Milne-Edwards in his ' Oiseaux Eossiles de la Prance,' 

 pi. cxxxiii. figs. 14, 15 ; and shows the characteristic 

 depth of the groove for the pectoralis minor. 



38376. Three specimens of the metacarpus, probably referable to 



this species. 



Of the undermentioned specimens some are probahly referable to 

 the present, and, others to the next species. 



38377. Six specimens of the furcula, mostly imperfect. 



38368. The sacrum and part of the pelvis. 



38369. The sacrum, with a fragment of the pelvis. 



38370. The sacrum, with a larger fragment of the pelvis. 

 38371-2. Two nearly similar specimens.
