ridge along the middle externally, aud the distal part proximalh'. A 

 broad groove marks the upper face of the epiphysis, where the shaft 

 has a vertical inner face.

The elements of the carpus are distinguished for length, and for re- 

 duction of width. The anterior faces of all are considerably longer 

 thau broad, but the longest faces of the cuneiform, scaphoid, and trape- 

 zoides are autero-posterior. The facets are as usual in the-carpus ; sca- 

 phoid^-; lunar i ; cuneiform 1^; trapezium i ; trapezoides i ' magnum^; 

 unciform f . The cuneiform has a rather L-shaped external face. The 

 pisiform has two proximal facets aud is enlarged and thickened distally ; 

 pressed inward, it reaches the scaphoid. The trapezium is a small 

 subdiscoid bone with convex outer face. The magnum is as broad as 

 deep in front, where its surface is swollen ; it is produced behind into a 

 spatulate decurved hook. The unciform has a narrow sub-acute hook 

 behind, with wide base.

The metacarpals are quite slender. The first only is wanting ; the 

 third is rather stouter than the others, while the fourth is considerably 

 the most slender. Its distal extremity is oblique, with prominent median 

 keel, which is wanting on the superior asi)ec4:. The proximal facets of 

 these bones are respectively (2d) 2, (3d) 2, (Ith) 1, (oth) 1. There is a 

 short, shallow groove near the proximal end of iS"o. 3. The phalanges 

 corresponding are lost in the specimen.
