tarsus, has a length of 0,152 (6 inches), and a width at 

 the middle of the shaft of 0,034 (1-35 inch). In its

 the outer border of the anterior surface of the third 

 trochlea, this bone approximates to the tarso-metatarsus of 

 Pachi/ornis eUphantojms, but the outer ridge of that 

 trochlea is the more prominent. Mantell Collection.
