I have only the sternum of this bird, with the coracoid, scapule, and furculum 
attached. 
Sternum short, scolloped out from the lateral margin to the end of the keel, which is 
shallow and much produced in front towards the furculum, to which it is united by a 
ligament. 
Coracoids long, very strong. 
Furculum much arched, broadest next the coracoids, gradually narrowed towards the 
sternum ; a small process at the junction of the rami. 
Scapule very broad posteriorly, narrowed at their junction with the coracoids.
