is a eoiniHx.ition. and is .lerived fnim a well preserved lunar, which was associated 
with otlier parts of skeleton. No. 10,282. The renmining elements of the carpus 
wen- not found as.-sx-iatc-d with this skeleton. The carpus is characterized by being 
very hnaid and hi-avy ; its transverse axis is about twice that of the vertical, difl’ei- 
ing in this n-s|H*c-t fnun Tapirus and Hyrachyiis, in which the height of the carpus 
inon- nearly coincides with its breadth. 
'Phe liflli nietaearpal in P. paludosns is large and not as much reduced as in the 
Tapir. Owing to tlie largi* size of metacarpal V the mesa.xial line of the carpus

nianus |ias.-H>s through that digit. 
The meta|MMlials of P. paludosus are heavy and wide spreading, being short in 
roinparison to their hn-adth. The carpal elements are broad, short and their rela- 
tions to each other an- quite dift’erent fi'oin those of recent forms, diftering radically
