. A descriptive catalogue of the marine reptiles of the Oxford clay. Based on the Leeds Collection in the British Museum (Natural History), London ... Reptiles, Fossil. OPHTHALMOSAUEUS. 0 1 the pubis and ischium {/.), the other, the larger of the two, forming the upper part of the acetabulum (acet.). The inner face () of the upper end of the blade bears an elongated roughened surface, which may indicate the persistence of some loose ligamentous connection with the vertebral column. The pubis and ischium (text-figs. 39, 40), as already noticed, are fused together, and, as might be expected in bones undergoing reduction, they differ in form to a great extent in different individuals. The upper end of the fused bones is thickened considerably and terminates in cartilage-capped surfaces, the smaller of which is on the inner side and forms the articulation for the ilium {, text-fig. 40); the larger occupies the greater Text-fig. acet.
