292 Mr. Mantell's Description of the Fossil Fox found at (Eningen. 



lumbar (G. G.), three sacral (II II II), and nineteen or twenty caudal vertebrae (K. K.). The 

 spinous process of the dc7itutits (L) seems to be rather larger than in the fox, but this appearance 

 may perhaps arise from compression. 



Ribs. — Almost all the ribs are seen, although in some instances they are displaced, and lie in 

 confusion ; those of the left side are marked (M, M.), those of the right (N. N.). 



Sternum. — The greater part of the sternum remains (O. O. O.). 



Scupulce. — P. the left, and Q. the right scapula. The head of the left scapula is seen at (w.), 

 the body of the same («.) is displaced and lies above the dorsal vertebra?. The right scapula is 

 not broken, and extends under the vertebra? and displaced portion of the left. 



Humerus. — R. the left, and S. the right humerus ; the heads of the bones lie in contact with 

 the glenoid cavity of the scapulae. 



Ulna. — T. the left, and V. the right ulna. 



Radius. — U. the left, and W. the right radius. It has already been mentioned that the head 

 of this bone appeared to be more cylindrical, and the shaft more rounded, than in the common 

 fox with which it was compared. In conjunction with other osteological differences this might 

 have been important. 



Pelvis. — X. The pelvis is unfortunately in a very mutilated and indistinct state: the ischium 

 is seen at (o). 



Femur. — Y. the left, and Z. the right femur. 



Patella. — &. Probably one of the patellae. 



Tibia.— A"-' The left, and B"- the right tibia. 



Fibula C"-- The left, and D"- the right fibula. 



Carpus The bonestof the left carpus are seen at E"", those of the right at F"*- ; the pha- 

 langes are marked 1. 2. 3, the ungueal 4. 



Tarsus. — G". The left os calcis or calcaneum, and H". the right. 



I". The right astragalus, and K". the left. 



L". Other bones of the tarsus. 



The phalanges are numbered like those of the carpus. Several of the sesamoid bones remain ; 

 two are seen almost i?i situ at 5. 5.
