Two principal groups are recognized — I., Plesiometacarpi^ in which the 
proximal ends of the rudimentary lateral metacarpals remain ; and II., 
Telemetacar pal ^ in which the dietal ends are retained ; the former series

the Eastern Hemisphere. The probable line of development of the 
family is considered, the genera and subgenera are characterized, and the 
known species enumerated.
