Most of the supposed differences between AM 41/109 and YPM 1883 wereeither the result of misinterpretation (1-3 above, different position of fourthtrochanter of femur) or the result of differences in preservation (form of radius,metacarpals, tibia, fibula: see Galton in press). YPM 1883 does differ fromAM 41/109 in having a proportionally long centrum to the last dorsal vertebra(but this might be sacral vertebra 3) and a proportionally smaller manus witha less trenchant first ungual phalanx (Fig. 7A, C). However, these differencesprobably represent individual variations within a species because i
