The femur is long and has three trochanters, the ¢hi7d 
trochanter being on the outer side. The ¢dza is also long 
and is fused with the d/a, though the proximal end of the

the astragalus, and a distal row of three bones. The 
internal cuneiform (see page 420) is apparently fused with the

and the cuvdoid are distinct. 
The first metatarsal and digit are absent, but the other 
Jour are long, and each bears a three-jointed digit.
