Of the Alectorides the families will be considered separately. 



In the Bustards as represented by Otis macqueeni and Eupodotis 

 denhami the ambiens, accessory femoro-caudal, the semitendinosus, 

 the accessory semitendinosus, and the postacetabular portion of the 

 tensor fasciae are present ; the femoro-caudal is absent. 



In the CEdicnemidai the accessory femoro-caudal, the semiten- 

 dinosus, the accessory semitendinosus, and the postacetabular portion 

 of the tensor fasciae are present. In (Edicnemis bistriata and (E. 

 superciliaris the femoro-caudal is present, but very slender. In (E. 

 grallaria it is absent. The ambiens is present in the three above- 

 named species, but it is peculiar in being sometimes but imperfectly 

 developed. It crosses the knee very externally, and was quite nor- 

 mally developed in a specimen of (E. bistriata and in one of (E. 

 grallaria. In another specimen of (E. grallaria it was lost ante- 

 riorly on the fasciae covering the knee ; and in one of (E. super- 

 ciliaris it crossed the knee, but sent off a slip on the in- and outside 

 to join the investing fascia. 



In the Cariamida the semitendinosus, the accessory semiten- 

 dinosus, and the postacetabular portion of the tensor fasciae are pre- 

 sent. The ambiens was absent in a specimen of Cariama cristata, 

 but present in one of Chunga burmeisteri. The femoro-caudal was 

 absent in both. The accessory femoro-caudal was present in Cariama 

 cristata, though extremely small. It was absent in Chunga bur- 

 meisteri. 



Among the Gruidce, Grus antigone possesses the ambiens, the 

 femoro-caudal (very small), the accessory femoro-caudal (small), the 

 semitendinosus, the accessory semitendinosus, and the postacetabular 

 portion of the tensor fasciae, as does also Anthropoides virgo. 



Among the Eurypygidce, Rkinochetus jubatus possesses the am- 

 biens, the femoro-caudal (extremely thin), the semitendinosus, and 

 the accessory semitendinosus ; the accessory femoro-caudal is absent. 



The Rallidce possess the ambiens, the femoro-caudal, the acces- 

 sory femoro-caudal, the semitendinosus, the accessory semitendinosus, 

 and the postacetabular portion of the tensor fasciae.
