. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. Fig. i. Struthiocephalus sp. SAM 12226 X % Dorsal view of left manus as restored. In the middle of the foot there are two centralia, of which the proximal one is the larger, circular in outline; the distal or inner centrale is oval in outline. There are five distalia of which the fourth is the largest; the first three are broader than long and the other two approximately as long as broad. The first four metacarpals are very short, but the fifth is quite a large bone. The digital formula is 2, 3, 3, 3
. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. Fig. i. Struthiocephalus sp. SAM 12226 X % Dorsal view of left manus as restored. In the middle of the foot there are two centralia, of which the proximal one is the larger, circular in outline; the distal or inner centrale is oval in outline. There are five distalia of which the fourth is the largest; the first three are broader than long and the other two approximately as long as broad. The first four metacarpals are very short, but the fifth is quite a large bone. The digital formula is 2, 3, 3, 3, 3. In each digit the proximal phalanx is very short; in the last four digits the second phalanx is slightly longer. The terminal or ungual phalanges are broad and carried broad, slightly convex nails. Titanosuchia (Fig. 2) In the Titanosuchia even less material of the manus is available. In SAM K249 a number of disarticulated foot-bones are preserved in very good condition but reassembly as in the figure is an act of faith. As reassembled there are three proximal, two central and five distals in the carpus and the digital formula 2, 3, 3, 3, 3. The radiale is a strong bone oval in outline and both the intermedium and proximal central are laterally compressed elements. A pair of beautifully preserved ulnaria are preserved. The ulnare is a robust bone with large, well-.
