3629. The right cuneiforme of the carpus. 



3630. The right unciforme. 



3631. The left cannon-bone, or coalesced third and fourth metacarpals. 



The distal epiphyses are connate, but have not become confluent with their respective dia- 

 physes. The length of this cannon-bone is twenty-seven inches. 



3632. The right os innominatum. 



The posterior concavity between the ilium and ischium is scarcely interrupted or divided by 

 the prominence of the conjoined bones above the acetabulum. The Harderian groove of the 

 acetabulum is wide and deep, and breaks through the border of that cup. 



3633. The right femur. 



Both proximal and distal epiphyses are ununited to the shaft, which is round, straight, and 

 slender in comparison to the vastly expanded condyles. There is no trace in this femur of the 

 arterial canal which perforates the fore part of the upper third of the shaft in the skeleton 

 No. 3617. 



3634. The left tibia. 



The proximal epiphysis is ununited to the shaft. 



3635. The right metatarsus. 



The distal epiphyses are connate, but have not become confluent with their respective 

 coalesced shafts, which answer to those of the third and fourth metatarsals in the pentadactyle 

 foot. The length of this cannon-bone is twenty-six inches nine lines, being not quite equal to 

 the metacarpus of the same individual, which illustrates a characteristic of the Giraffe, as being 

 the only known Ruminant in which the metatarsus does not exceed the metacarpus hi length. 



3636. The left astragalus. 3637. The left calcaneum. 



3638. The left scapho-cuboid bone. 



3639. The proximal phalanx of one of the toes.
