It is proportionately consid- erably shorter in its total length than the correspond- ing bone in other crocodilians. The relative length and shape of the capitulum and tuberculum is very like what is seen in the crocodiles of to-day. The tuberosity is well developed and directed forward and slightly more downward than in recent crocodilia. In addition to the specimen which is here figured there were found a number of fragments of ribs, one of them apparently the proximal end with the cap- itulum of the third thoracic rib of the left side; another evidently a piece of the upper portion of the first rib of the right side carrying the tuberosity, but lacking the capitulum and tuberculum, and still another which is apparently the.
