. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. / the United States National Museum. The radiale in the manus of both of these Recent mysticetes is the largest carpal and is located in the proximal row anteriorly below the distal end of the radius. The largest carpal of this Calvert cetothere (fig. 25a; pi. 17, fig. 9) measures 70 mm. trans- versely and 46 mm. in depth, and is thus assumed to be the radiale. The next largest carpal (fig. 25c; pi. 17, fig. 8) is 45 mm. wide and 43 mm. deep; it is regarded as the intermedium. Another carpal (fig. 25e; pi. 17, fig. 7) of somewhat similar sha

Another carpal (fig. 25e; pi. 17, fig. 7) of somewhat similar shape has a maximum diameter of 41 mm. and a depth of 40 mm., and is thought to be the ulnare. The dorsoplantar measurements of three carpals (pi. 17, figs. 7, 8, 9) are greater than those of two others presumed to have comprised the distal row and thus seem to conform to the requirements of the three in the proximal row. One somewhat elongated carpal (fig. 25b; pi. 17, ) with relatively small dorsal and plantar smooth surfaces may represent the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States National Museum; Smithsonian Institution; United States.
