This (Text-fig. 2) does not present any specially 
gE. THe Limes. 
These are of moderate length, and agree with those of the Felidae and differ 
from those of the Urside in being strongly digitigrade. All the digits are termi- 
nated by non-retractile claws. 
(1) The Anterior Limb.—The humerus (Text-fig. 5) is rather short. There is 
no entepicondylar foramen, but a supra-trochlear foramen 1s always present. 
The metacarpals are longer and more curved than in Felis. Five digits are 
present, but the pollex is much shorter than the others and does not reach the 
eround.
