The hipposaurid humerus is relatively a long slender bone with a long slender shaft and both the proximal as well as the distal ends moderately expanded. There is a considerable 'twist' on the shaft so that the ends subtend an angle of about 700. In the figures the views called dorsal, ventral and posterior are ortho- projections on to the plane in which the distal condyles lie. The caput is terminal, narrowly oval, flowing into the processus medialis and lateralis, both indistinctly demarcated. The delto-pectoral crest is of moderate size with no distinct pectoralis tuber. The bicipital fossa is deep and.
