The second and third metatarsals of the right side (Cat. No. 3343 and 3344 respectively) are preserved. The proximal end of the second is quadrangular, having both its longer edges concave. The larger axis of the parallelogram has a length of 92 mm., the shorter 53 mm. From the angles sharp ridges run down the bone. The length of the bone is 216 mm., while the distal end has a greatest breadth of 09 Fig. 35. Plateosaurus cullingwort

The length of the third metatarsal is 220 mm. The proximal end is narrowly triangular, 89 mm. long and having a base of 52 mm. The distal end has a breadth of 06 mm. A number of bones from the Red Beds just above the village of Lady Grey, C. P., seem to belong to this species. They can be correlated with the type by means of a left tibia, somewhat smaller, than that described, but of similar shape and relative proportions; a right humerus, of the same size as No. 3350; the distal ends of the two ischia; the distal end of the right and the proximal end of.
