Pareiasaurian Studies.—Part VI. 329 pubo-ischio-femoralis interims is strong, and distally ends abruptly. The internal trochanter is not very strong, but prominent and slightly curved and directed preaxially. The stem of the primitive Y is strong and directed much medially, but dies out quickly. The shaft is fairly long, but fairly much constricted. The dorsal curvature is weak and the proximal surface directed wholly proximally, but the tibial facets are directed fairly much distally. The intertrochanteric fossa is of medium depth. Tibia (text-fig. 35).—The tibia is long and massive ; the proximal end is long and very broad; the postaxial facet is smaller than the preaxial facet; the distal end is long and narrow ; the eminence on the postaxial border of the shaft is moderately developed and some- what dorsally situated. Fibula (text-fig. 36). — The fibula is of medium length and it is only a very little longer than the tibia. It is straight, of medium strength, with a weak ridge on the postaxial border of the shaft. The expansion of the ends is medium. Foot (PL XXXVIII, c).—In 9148 there are two complete feet. The dorsal ridge on the proximal element is sharp. Only the fourth distal is ossified as a pebble-like bone. The segments of the first digit are not much broader than the second, third, and fourth. Genus Dolichopareia Haughton and Boonstra. The pelvis and femur are unknown. Tibia (text-fig. 37).—The tibia is long and massive ; the proximal. Text-fig. 36.—Fibula of Embrithosaurus schwarzi. X \. (8034.) (a) Dorsal.
