The metacarpus is of very similar form to the metatarsus described above, and may represent the same species. Compared with the correspond- ing bones of Odocoileus hemionus: (1) the humerus (fig. 9) is slightly shorter and lighter; (2) the radius (fig. 11) is slightly lighter and of about equal length; and (3) the metacarpus (fig. 12) is distinctly longe

The two astragali (see reconstruction, figs. 14a-14c) are consider- ably heavier and of different character from no. 23403 (see above, fig. 13), being strongly cervid throughout in: (1) the groove of the distal end is deep and sharply defined, and the outer condyle of the trochlea broad; (2) the occurrence on either side of the central fossa of a knob which terminates mid-dorsally both condyles of the jiroximal.
