 2698. The right lunare. 2699. The right cuneiforme. 



2700. The right pisiforme. 



The single articular surface is divided into two facets, the smaller of which joins the ulna. 



2701. The right trapezoides. 2702. The right os magnum. 

 2703. The right unciforme. 2704. The right os innominatum. 



2705. The right femur. 



The proximal epiphysis consists of the part forming the hemispheric head, and the part 

 forming the great trochanter. The head of the femur shows no depression for a ligamentum 

 teres. The orifice of the principal medullary artery enters the back part of the lower third 

 of the shaft, and inclines upwards. 



2706. The right tibia. 2707. The right astragalus. 

 2708. The right calcaneum. 2709. The right naviculare. 

 2710. The left entocuneiforme. 2711. The right mesocuneiforme. 

 2712. The right ectocuneiforme. 2713. The right cuboides. 



The following, to No. 2723 inclusive, are parts of the skeleton of a very young Elephant : 



Purchased. 

 2714. The neural arch of the occipital vertebra. 



The centrum (hasioccipital) is notched behind, and contributes there the lower ends of the 

 occipital condyles : it increases in thickness as it advances to form the flat rough surface for 

 junction with the centrum in advance (basisphenoid) . There is a rough depression on each 

 side of the under surface for the insertion of the ' recti capitis antici.' The meurapophyses 

 (exoccipitals) have no condyloid foramina, and do not develope paroccipital processes : they 

 meet above to complete the foramen magnum. The neural spine (superoccipital) is much 

 expanded, and supports two supplementary bones (interparietals).
