unossified. D ii. consisted of M and Ph^; D iii. of M and 

 Ph7 ; D iv. of M and Ph^ ; D v. of M and Phg. In each 

 digit the osseous phalanges were united by intervening 

 cartilage divided into a distal epiphysis for one bone 

 and a proximal epiphysis for the other. Each digit 

 ended in a terminal rod of cartilage in which possibly

 process and of two long processes, and is 17 inches 

 between the tips of the long processes. Figure below.

 inches between the tips of its long processes. The 

 crus penis and erector muscle were attached to the 

 posterior process. Described by Turner in Journ. of
