Prof. G. B. Howes read a paper on the coracoid of the Terrestrial

 commonly called "the coracoid," and then proceeded to the discussion of 

 the Mammalian Coracoid in particular. He came to the conclusion that 

 it would be best to call the whole ventral coracoidal bar the " coracoid," and 

 to distinguish the doubly ossified type as " bicoracoidal " from the singly 

 ossified or " unicoracoidal " type.
