more generalized stage. Proximally, there are two facets, for the 

 ealcaneum and astragalus, respectively. The calcaneal- facet is sub- 

 quadrate in general outline, slightly convex, but sloping less obliquely 

 than astragalar facet.

This cuboid differs from that of Eumetopias in that the dorso-

 is no distinct facet present on the astragalus for articulation with the 

 cuboid. As the cuboid facet is not usually present in the Fissipedia,
