Fol- lowing is description of pertinent characters evident in these speci- mens; outline of external condyle, viewed laterally, rounded anteriorly and flattened on distal margin, which joins posterior surface at rather an abrupt angle; external surface with margins raised, the posterior portion flaring out as a compressed, platelike process; outer face of in- ternal condyle with anterior portion narrowed and projected forward considerably beyond level of shaft, the margins rounded, lower margin flattened and posterior margin protruded as a thin, raised plate; a rounded tubercle near level of anterior margin of shaft about equidis- tant from upper and lower margins with a shallow, rounded excavation in front; intercondylar fossa broad and deeply impressed, with the internal condyle rising abruptly from it, the margin of this condyle being thickened somewhat to produce a slight notch; boundary wall of.
