DESCRIPTION OF THE LIMBS 
Fore-limbs. 
The fore-limbs are represented by a left scapula ; a left humerus, wanting most 
of the head, the tuberosities and the front of the upper part of the shaft ; the 
upper articular end of the right humerus ; the left ulna, wanting part of the 
shaft ; a complete right radius and the greater part of the left ; and most of the 
bones of the fore-foot on one side or the other except the cuneiform and unciform. 
The Scapula. — This bone is preserved on the left side only. It is much 
crushed, the spine being bent backwards over the post-scapular fossa. The upper 
angle is not quite complete, and a considerable portion of the posterior angle is 
wanting. The form of the glenoid surface is most nearly like that of E. africanus ; 
the coracoid tuberosity is rather more developed than in that species, but less than 
in E. maximus ; it is much as in E. primigenius . Between this tuberosity and the 
anterior border of the glenoid cavity there is a deep pit, such as also occurs in 
E. africanus. A similar pit is also seen in the glenoid portion of a large scapula 
(B.M. Geol. Dept. 21680) from Grays, probably belonging to E. antiquus. That 
specimen seems to have belonged to an individual as large as this now described ; 
the length of its glenoid cavity is 256 mm., its width 165 mm., so, though not so long, 
it is wider than our specimen. The glenoid surface of another very large scapula 
(B.M. Geol. Dept. 33404), dredged off Happisburgh, measures 235 mm. in length 
and 120 mm. in width ; in this the length of the surface is greater in proportion 
to its width than in our specimen ; it may belong to E. meridionalis . 
The anterior border seems to have been nearly straight, as in E. maximus and 
E. primigenius, while in E. africanus it is moderately convex. So far as can be 
seen the metacromium is situated low down, as in E. africanus.

The Humerus. — The humerus is an enormously massive bone, being apparently 
stouter in proportion to its length than in E. maximus, E. africanus, and E. primi- 
genius ; the upper end, so far as can be seen on the imperfectly preserved right side, 
was much like that of E. primigenius, presenting no special peculiarity. The chief 
difference between this humerus and that of E. africanus, E. maximus, and 
E. primigenius, with which it has been compared, is that the trochleae are less
