surface of the greater part of the blade is flattened antero-posteriorly. while the 

 outer surface, excepting the upper fourth is rounded in this direction. The articular 

 end being expanded both antero-posteriorly and transversely is heavy, especially 

 on the posterior half, which has a maximum thickness immediately above the 

 glenoid fossa of 58 mm. The scapula unites with the coracoid by a straight 

 suture that bisects the glenoid fossa and is terminated above by a deep notch 

 between the scapula and coracoid on the anterior border. In this individual 

 both scapulae are firmly coossified with their respective coracoids. The scapula 

 of this specimen appears to agree in all particulars with the one found with the 

 mounted skeleton of Antrodemus in the American Museum of Natural History, 

 and it also shows that the limb described by Williston should be referred to 

 this genus. In this connection it is of interest to know that the Ceratosaurus scap- 

 ula which formed the basis for the illustration of this bone in the so-called fore limb 

 of Allosaurus is now in the United States National Museum collections (pi. 26, fig. 

 1). I have recently examined the bone and find that its upper extremity is 

 incomplete, so that it is not positively known whether this' blade has a nonexpanded 

 end as represented by Marsh or whether it was expanded as in Antrodemus. It 

 differs, however, from Antrodemus in having a thinner and wider shaft, and a more 

 abrupt backward curve of the heavy posterior border just above the glenoid fossa. 

 Both inner and outer surfaces of the lower three-fourths of the shaft in Antrodemus 

 are rounded. Both of these specimens came from the famous "Quarry No. 1," near 

 Canon City, Fremont County, Colorado.

Coracoid (Cor.). — The coracoid in Antrodemus is quadrangular in outline, this 

 measurement exceeding the antero-posterior diameter. The outer surface is convex 

 in all directions, the inner decidedly concave antero-posteriorly. There is a broad 

 notch on the inferior border. 



The coracoid is pierced by the usual foramen, which runs diagonally through 

 the bone, the external exit being larger than the internal. This foramen is entirely 

 inclosed (fig. 40), not a notch as shown in Marsh's figure of the coracoid (pi. 11, fig. 

 1. Dinosaurs of North America). The superior border presents a thin flattened 

 edge, the anterior edge gradually thickening toward the inferior border.

Humerus (h). — Comparatively the humerus of Antrodemus is short and some- 

 what sigmoid in form. The shaft is hollow, as are all of the limb and foot bones 

 of this genus. Planes passed through the greatest diameter of the articular ends 

 would cut one another at an angle of 50°. This unusual angulation throws the
