be placed on Gervais' figure. According to Seeley we have the 

 evidence of Gaudry that the cervical ribs in the Paris specimen 

 are similar to those in the Cape Town specimen. If this is so, 

 then the Paris specimen is very badly drawn indeed. In the text 

 the humerus is stated to be 25 mm. long and 13 mm. broad, but 

 if the figure of the humerus, which is stated to be natural size, is 

 measured, it is found that while 25 mm. is the length, the breadth 

 is only 9 mm. Either the measurements are incorrectly given in 

 the text, or the drawing is so out of proportion as to be worthless. 

 The shoulder girdle as figured is very unlike that of the Cape Town 

 specimen, and strongly suggests that the two specimens belong to 

 different species, but until a reliable figure is given of the Paris 

 specimen the question must remain unsettled.

 useful for comparison with others : —
