The pelvis is perfectly preserved. The ischium is but little over half 

 as long as the ilium, measuring from the middle of the acetabulum. The 

 ilium is a triradiate bone, the superior or sacral plate rather shorter and 

 wider than that forming the "crest," which is subsimilar to the pedun- 

 cular i^ortion. Tlie crest expands very slightly distally forward and 

 downward. The ischio-pubic suture is a long one, and the obturator 

 foramen a long oval ; the inferior pelvic elements do not form a trans- 

 verse, but meet at an ojien angle.

Femur. — The head projects inward on a well-marked neck. The great 

 trochanter is strongly recurved and presents an anterior tuberosity as 

 well. It rises to an incurved apex much elevated above the head. The 

 prominence of the front of the femur is continued into the front of the 

 trochanter. The outer margin of the shaft is thin, and at a point two- 

 litths the length from the proximal end is produced into a low third 

 trochanter, which is curved forward and thickened on the margin. The 

 trochlea is well elevated, the inner margin a little the more so, and is 

 narrow. It is continuous with the surface of the inner condyle, which is 

 the shorter and more vertical; the external is longer and divergent; its 

 terminal face is marked by two fossee, one in front of the other just out- 

 side the distal end of the ridge bordering the trochlea. Little trochanter 

 moderate.

The tihia has a broad prominent crest, which is remarkable in being 

 deeply fissured longitudinally at its superior portion. The tendinous 

 notch separates the outer portion of the crest from the spreading margin 

 of the outer cotyloid face. The crest disappears at the proximal third, 

 and the shaft becomes flattened in front and on the inner side. The dis- 

 tal articular extremity- is impressed by 1. § trochlea', the outer being
