very strongly convex from before backwards, and less so transversely ; its surface looks 
nearly as much backwards as upwards. The outer tuberosity (o.f.) is massive and 
roughened, but it is broken away above, so that its beigbt cannot be observed. The 
shaft is to some extent laterally compressed till just above the distal expansion. The

deltoid crest (d.) is only moderately prominent, and extends down about two-thirds of 
the shaft. The supinator ridge (s.r.) is very slightly marked. The inner condyle (i.c.) 
is moderately prominent, and there is a large entepicondylar foramen (en.f.). Both 
the coronoid and olecranon fossse are large and communicate by a very large supra- 
trocblear foramen (s.p.). The trochlear surface consists of an inner portion produced 
considerably downwards, a broadly rounded intercondylar ridge, and a narrower outer 
portion. The whole bone seems to resemble the humerus of the American species of
