R. 1250. A somewhat smaller example of the corresponding bone ; 

 from the Kimeridge Clay, locality unknown. Length 

 0,644 (25-4 inches), diameter of distal extremity 0,265 

 (10-4 inches). Purchased. 



R. 1245. Cast of the bones of the right (?) pelvic limb, apparently 

 seen from the inner side. The original was obtained from 

 Kimeridge Bay by Mr. Mansel-Pleydell, and is preserved 

 in the Museum at Dorchester. The femur wants a portion 

 of the distal postaxial border; and the arrangement of 

 some of the bones is incorrect. The entire length as 

 restored is 1,960 (6 feet 6 inches) ; the length of the 

 femur being 0,930 (37 inches), and its width in the 

 middle of the shaft 0,170 (7 inches). The resemblance 

 to the type femur figured on p. 362 of Phillips's ' Geology
