The characters figured at the distal head of the bone pro- vide reliable identification of deer. The radius and ulna remain free in all but old deer, but fuse in sub-adult slieej) and goats. The area of contact between the bones, visible in disarticulated specimens as a scar on the shaft of the radius, is diagnostic. ULNA (Figure 4) The ulna will neai-ly always set deer apart from the domestic an- imals. Several characters discriminate the goats of my sample from the sheep; I cannot say that these criteria would always be reliable. Differences in |)ro])ortions of the articulatory surface at the elbow j(nnt may be by relating two measurements shown in the illustration.
