The straight, long axis of 11557 is normal whereas the downward curvature of the proximal end in both 12262 and K352 would appear to be due to post-mortem distortion. The internal and external trochanters are as in the already described Pristerognathids. K353 consists of an isolated, well-preserved proximal end of a large femur which may be that o{ Scymnosaurus major. Although it has an internal trochanter and pubo-ischio femoralis internus ridge as in the other pristerognathid femora, both these structures are feebly developed and appear to be out of proportion to the size of the bone. ^innosaurus (fig. 466? and e) In 12185 a proximal and distal femoral end is preserved. The caput is well rounded and somewhat anteriorly directed. The internal trochanter forms a.
