l)lie(l by wooden diske;. There are present the following parts: 

 The eraninni is tolerably complete, but broken at the rostral 

 end and also in the occipital region. ^Measured in a straight 

 line from the front of lower jaw, which being perfect locates 

 the missing part of the rostrum, the upper jaw being broken at 

 the end, to the lower part of the foramen, the length is twenty- 

 one inches, and nine and a half across the condylar region. There 

 are no teeth, but alveoli for eight o'n each side of the upper and 

 right side of lower jaw, while on the left side of the latter, 

 there are only seven alveoli. No ear bones were found. The 

 hyoid and one stylohal are present. 



There are thirty-eight vertebrae, viz.. all the seven cervicals, 

 ten dorsal, ten lumbal^, eleven caudal and one chevron. In all 

 but four, the spines are complete, and nearly so in one of these. 

 The neural arch is seen in all but two. The transverse ])roces36s 

 are present in all, but in all are more or less brokeuj though not 

 badly in many. The bodies increase in length from the cervi- 

 cals backwards to the tenth lumbar. In the cervical behind the 

 axis the leno-th of the body is one-half inch, and in the laroest 

 it is four a,nd a quarter inches. 



Probably not less than thirteen caudals are wanting from 

 the end of the column. 



The scapulas are not only both present, but are in excellent 

 condition. Each is somewhat broken on the border, but as they 

 are not broken in the same ]iart it is possible by taking them 

 together to make out the entire outline. Even the verv long and 

 slender coracoids are perfect. Each bone measures from the 

 top border to the glenoid border eight inches, and ten inches 

 across the upper border. The coracoids are nearly ten inches 

 long on the upDcr border. 



The humerus, like all the arm bones, is rather short and 

 stout. It is five and a half inches long; the radius is three 

 and a half, and the ulna four and a quarter inches.
