A section of the fibula, uear the proximal end, is sub-triangular ; a 

 short distance below, sub-circular ; on the distal two-thirds it is flat, 

 with the thinner edge convex inward. 



The astragalus is a flat bone, with its entire superior face occupied by 

 the tibial articular surface. This is as broad as long, and very little 

 convex. It is broader in front than behind ; the outer margin is con- 

 cave, the iuuer slightly convex. The posterior margin projects most on 

 the outer side, and it is divided by a pit-like cavity, which sends a 

 groove to the iuuer margin. The outer malleolar surface is an antero- 

 posterior oval; the inner, a concavity, beyond which the inferior por- 

 tion of the bone projects. The inferior face is divided by a prominent 

 transverse angle, between sub-anterior and sub-posterior faces. The 

 latter receives the calcaneum on two oval surfaces, which are joined 

 behind by a narrow strip. The navicular face is sub-rhomboid, the 

 cuboid one-third as large, and triangular, with a round base outward. 

 The margin of the former scarcely projects beyond the superior face.

A distal end of a humerus was found with two astragali about 100 

 yards from the last individual. The articular face is very oblique to 

 the transverse axis, but is about equally developed on opposite sides of 

 the shaft. The condyles are unequal, have parallel axes, and are sepa- 

 rated by but a shallow concavity. The fossai of opposite sides are not 

 very large nor deep.
