O. antlgone. The sliorter extensor bridge distinguishes 

 this specimen from the latter. 



49358. The distal extremity of the left tarso-metatarsus of a larger 

 (/'7y.) Crane probably referable to the present species. Figured 

 by the writer, op. cit. pi. xxvi. figs. 2, 2 a. The greatest 

 transverse diameter is 0,032, against 0,026 in the corre- 

 sponding bone of G. antigone. The proportions and rela- 

 tions of the three trochlete are precisely the same as iu 

 the latter.

Gnis melitcnsis. — Anterior aspect of the distal extremity of the left tibio-tarsus ; 

 from tlie Pleistocene of Malta. \. a, bridge over groove for extensor 

 tendons ; h, intercondylar tubercle. 



49324 b. The second and third phalangeals of the third digit of the 

 pes. These accord in all respects with the somewhat 

 smaller corresponding bones of G. antigone, the second 

 phalangeal exhibiting the symmetrical proximal articular 

 surface by which this bone is at once distinguished from 

 the corresponding phalangeal of C'ygnus. 



49324 c. A phalangeal which is not improbably the second of the 

 fourth digit. 



49324 d. The proximal phalangeal of the third digit of the pes 

 belonging either to a small or immature individual of the 

 present species or to an allied one. 



49324 e. The proximal phalangeal of the second digit of the left pes 

 belonging to an individual of rather larger size than that 

 to which the preceding pertained.
