“ There are eight separate carpal bones in va fore foot of all 
the Dinocerata, and a ninth, the central bone 
in very young animals, and, in adults. orth er lost or consolidated 
with the scaphoid, or the trapezoid. * The metacarpal 
bones in the Dénocerata are short a ania * 3 
phalanges in the fore foot of the Dinocerata are very short, 
and comparatively small. 
“Sternal bones are preserved in a number of individuals of 
the Dinocerata in the Yale Museum, but the entire wth in 
any one individual has not been recovered. * * * most 
marked character of these bones in the a 1s that tha 
are flat and ‘horizontal, as in the Artiodactyls, and not vertical, 
as in the Proboscidians, and the Perissodactyls.” 
The pelvis in the Dinocerata has a a general resemblance to 
that of the elephant. The ilia were widely expanded, as in 
that animal. There are four sacral vertebree.

“The hind limbs of the Dinocerata have a general resem- 
blance to those of Proboscidians, but the bones composing ait 
are comparatively shorter, and more robust. When the anim q 
was standing at rest, the posterior limb formed a strong 4” 
nearly vertical column. 
“The hind feet in the Dinocerata were considerably smaller 
than those in front. * * * * There were five digits, as in the 
hee and the axis of the foot was through the third, 
or middle, d igit.
