hereafter. The tuberositas tibiae of the right tibia is still visible. The lateral 
condylus of the right tibia is flattened and now forms a kind of lateral posterior 
process. The concave portion in the lateral border of the proximal articulation 
surface is slightly deepened, but the notch in the hinder border has been 
greatly exaggerated through pressure. The articulation surface slopes from 
behind upwards and forwards. The shaft becomes narrower from the head 
downwards. The distal end is transversely broad; the bones are so badly 
crushed that it is useless to say more about them. As far as can be made out, 
they have the same general shape as other Thevopod tibiae. 
Fibula. 
Of the left fibula only the proximal end is present. The right fibula is 
complete, but has suffered much from pressure. The original curvature of 
the bone is completely flattened out. The fibula has the same general shape 
as the fibula of Dromicosaurus gracilis. Its length is 30 cm. The high ridge 
on the shaft of the fibula of Dromicosaurus gracilis is still visible in this 
specimen as a faint low ridge. The antero-medial corner of the distal end is 
broken off. The fibula is figured in fig. 4 of PI. XX. 
Tarsalia. 
Fragments of the tarsalia of the left and the right side are present, but 
they are too badly preserved to study in detail. 
Foot. 
The right foot is complete (PL XXI, fig. 1 and PL XXII), and of the left 
foot the first two toes are present. All the bones, and especially the metatar- 
salia, have suffered from pressure. 
Metatarsale I has a length of 9-3 Cm. in the right and 9-6 cm. in the left 
foot. The bone of the right foot is more flattened than that of the left. As 
preserved the proximal breadth of the right bone is 4 cm. and that of the 
left 3-6 cm. The thickness of this end is 1*2 cm. and 1*3 cm. respectively. 
Posteriorly the proximal end of the bone has a broad rough edge, which passes 
further downwards into the smooth posterior surface of the shaft. There is 
a slight angle between the rough and the smooth edge. Proximally the lateral 
surface bends towards the medial side near the posterior border. Nothing is 
visible of a ridge on the medial side of the proximal end, but this may be due 
to pressure. The shaft narrows down to a breadth of 2 cm. and 2*4 cm. and 
a thickness of 1-5 cm. and i-i cm. in the left and right bones respectively. 
The axis of the distal articulation surface stands obliquely on the axis of the 
bone ; the medial posterior end of the surface is much higher than the lateral 
anterior end. Further the axis is directed from the front backwards and 
somewhat to the medial side. The antero-medial part of the articulation 
surface is undivided. Below and behind it consists clearly of two portions, 
a large, globose, antero-lateral one and a narrow, transversely elongated, 
medial portion, which sends a long narrow process upwards, backwards and 
to the lateral side. There is a deep concavity between the globose portion of 
the articulation surface and its hook-like process on the postero-lateral surface 
of the bone. On the under surface the two portions of the articulation surface 
are divided by a very shallow, broad groove. 
Metatarsale II has a length of 14 cm. The proximal articulation surface 
has the shape of a quadrangle. All four sides of this quadrangle are concave. 
The deformation makes it impossible to say which side of the bone is more 
concave than the other. The lateral border of the proximal surface has a length
