164 CAMNAT^, 



Grus pentelici, Gaudry ^ 



Very imperfectly known ; slightly larger than G. cinerca. 



Hob. Europe (Greece). 



From the Lower Pliocene of Pikermi (Attica). 



Grus excelsaj Milue-Edwards ^ 



Imperfectly kuown. Somewhat larger than G. cinerea, with a 

 short bridge over the extensor groove of the tibio-tarsus. 

 Bab. Europe (France). 



31275. The distal extremity of the left humerus ; from the Lower 

 Miocene (Upper Oligocene) of Allier. This specimen, 

 although of slightly larger size, accords with the corre- 

 sponding type-fragment figured by MUne-Edwards in his 

 ' Oiseaux Fossiles de la Erance,' pi. Ixxv. fig. 8, 9, and 

 also presents but slight differences from the humerus of 

 G. antigone. The characteristically large surface for the 

 origin of the brachialis anticus is distinctly seen. 



Bravarcl Collection. Purchased, 1852. 



31667. The imperfect proximal extremity of the left tarso-meta- 

 tarsus ; from Allier. Slightly larger than the specimen 

 figured by Milne-Edwards, op. cit. figs. 1-4, and agreeing 

 in all essential characters with the corresponding bone of 

 existing species of the genus. Bravarcl Collection. 



The two following specimens may perhaps belong to this species. 



31666. The proximal extremity of the left tarso-metatarsus of a 

 large immature wading-bird ; from Allier, At the time 

 of death the tarsus was separate from the three meta- 

 tarsals, which are not fi;lly united. Bravarcl Collection. 



31754*. A nearly similar specimen, with less of the shaft remain- 

 ing ; from Allier. Bravard Collection.
