Carpus. — The coalescence of the scaphoid and intermedium, and of the two radial 
ossicles of the third series, which we have found complete in T. elephantojjus, has 
commenced in the present individual; but the lines of separation are still clearly 
visible. 
The pelvis differs from that of T. elephanto])us in the same manner as does that of 
T. ephipiyium; but its horizontal diameter is comparatively greater than in either of 
those two species. All the sutures are present.

The femur agrees almost entirely with that of T. elephantopus, thus differing from 
that of T. epMppium in the same points, which will be indicated in the description of 
the latter species. The bones of the Imver leg and tarsus do not show any noteworthy 
peculiarity, the state of coalescence of the astragalus and calcaneum being the same as 
in some of the carpal bones mentioned above.
