FieuRE 122.—Right magnum of Dinoceras mirahile, (No. 1230); side view. I. face for hmar; mcIII. face for third metacarpal; un. face for unciform. Both figures are one-half natural size. The distal face of the magnum (Plate XXXIV, figure 6) is mostly occupied by an elongated articular face for the support, in great part, of the third metacarpal. This face is more or less moderately concave from before backward, slightly convex transversely, and is usually a little broader in front than behind. It is separated by a rounded ridge from the confluent, narrower and oblique, face lying along its radial side, and aiding in the support of the second metacarpal. The dimensions of the magnum bone of four individuals of the Dinocerata are as follows:.
