ANATIN/E.] 



46 



We have here retained the old Linnean name for this genus, instead of that of Boschas 

 proposed by Mr. Swainson. The proportions of the skeleton are : — The depth of the keel to the 

 length of the sternum as 1 to 5. Breadth of the pelvis to its length as 1 to If. Length of femur 

 to that of tibia as 1 to 1J. Depth of cranium to its length as 1 to 3. 



Affinity. In size and the form of the tongue this genus approaches nearest to the last of 

 any among the Anatince.
