988. An anterior caudal vertebra of the Gavial (Gavialii gangrtiau). 



By the toalesemt* of the neurapophysM with each other and the neural spine, and of thr

 to fire distinct piece* : the proximal end of the plrurmpophyse* ii expanded and articuUtnl 

 by Mtnre with the centrum and bate of the oeurapophysis. 



080. A posterior caudal vertebra of the Gavial (Gavialig gangetictu). 



This is charactrrixed by the absence of the pleurapophjses and by the anchylosis of thr

 The medullary artery enters above the middle on the inner side of the shaft, 

 and the canal slopes downwards. 



696. The right femur of a Gavial : its head is compressed from before backwards 



its shaft with a slight double curvature in directions contrary to those of the
