(2) The Pelvic Girdle. — This (Text-fig. 2) does not present any specially 

 characteristic features. 



e. The Limes. 



These are of moderate length, and agree with those of the Felidge and differ 

 from those of the Ursidge in being strongly cligitigrade. All the digits are termi- 

 nated by non-retractile claws. 



(1) The Anterior Limb. — The humerus (Text-fig. 3) is rather short. There is 

 no entepicondylar foramen, but a supra-trochlear foramen is always present. 

 The metacarpals are longer and more curved than in Felis. Five digits are 

 present, but the pollex is much shorter than the others and does not reach the 

 ground.
