. An introduction to the study of mammals living and extinct. Mammals. ...4 ^..^ It ' mMk. Fig. 99.—Bones of right fore foot of existing Artiodactyles. A, Pig (Sus scrofa), xj; B Red Deer (^Cervus elaphus), xy, C, Camel (Camdm bactriamis), xi- C, Ulna; E, radius; .' cuneiform; !, lunar; s, scaphoid ; u, unciform ; m, magnum; Ul, trapezoid; (in,'trapezium' From Flower's Osteology of Mammalia. Dorsal and lumbar vertebrae together always nineteen, though the former may vary from twelve to fifteen. Femur without* thii-d trochanter. Third and fourth digits of both feet almost equally developed, and their ungual phalanges flattened on their inner or contiguous surfaces, so that each is not symmetrical in itself but when the two are placed together they form a figure symmetrically disposed to a line drawn between them. Or, in other words the axis or median line of the whole foot is a line drawn between the third and fourth digits, while in the Perissodactyles it is a line drawn down the centre of the third dis,at. Distal articular surface.
