the radius and ulna and the hand. The distal end of the humerus is 
17 mm. broad. It has two distinct condyles with a broad shallow depression 
between them. There are no epicondylar foramina. 
The radius has a length of 33 mm., and consists of a thin shaft expanding 
at each end to a width of about 7 mm. The distal end is cup-shaped for 
the reception of the radiale, which is closely applied to the bone. 
The ulna is not fully exposed. Its length may have been slightly less 
than that of the radius. The bones of the forearm are crossed, so that the 
distal end of the ulna lies on the opposite side of the radius to the proximal 
end. 
The bony carpus consists of six elements — two fairly large proximal ones 
and four smaller distal ones. The largest bone articulates closely with the 
radius and is irregularly quadrangular in section. The other proximal element 
lies at the distal lateral corner of the radiale, well separated from the ulna. 
Its lateral face is excavate as if for the reception of another, possibly 
cartilaginous, element. Of the distal elements the second is small, the first 
and third are equal to one another in size, and the fourth slightly larger. The 
first, second and third articulate wth metacarpals I, II and III ; the fourth 
with metacarpal IV and partly with metacarpal Y, which also articulates 
apparently with the outer proximal element. The metacarpals have the 
following lengths : I, 5 mm. ; II, 10 mm. ; III, 12 mm. ; IV, 13'5 mm. ; 
V, 6 mm. The digital formula is 2, 3, 4, 5, 3 (the claw of the fifth finger 
is displaced), and the fingers (excluding the metacarpals) have the following 
lengths : 1, 10 mm. ; 2, 13 mm. ; 3, 16 mm. ; 4, 18 mm. ; 5, 8 mm. The 
claws are comparatively long and pointed. All the fingers are slender. 
The fore foot is smaller than the hind foot. 
The whole pelvis is preserved, practically undistorted. The left ilium is 
entire. As Broom has pointed out, it differs considerably from that of 
Euparheria and resembles much more closely that of Howesia. The maximum 
vertical height of the bone is 28 mm., the height above the supra-acetabular 
ridge 16 mm. The length of the dorsal edge is 25 mm. The posterior 
extension of the crest is much less than in Euparheria. The acetabulum is 
closed. 
The ischium is a plate-like bone meeting its neighbour in a nearly com- 
plete symphysis, and sloping downwards and inwards from the acetabulum 
to form a very obtuse-angled depression. It is considerably shorter than 
that of Euparlceria. Its greatest length cannot have been more than 27 mm., 
its anterior width 13 mm. The pubis is 21 mm. broad posteriorly. It is 
plate-like, with the anterior half of the plate bent nearly at right angles to 
the posterior half, so that the two pubes together form a nearly vertical 
wall of bone. The anterior edges are considerably thickened laterally. 
The posterior edges of the bone are not quite straight, so that the articula- 
tion with the ischia was not complete, a lozenge-shaped area being left
