(Reconstructed from casts 7 and 9.) occupying the distal part of the ventral surface, indicating the attachment of the gastrocnemius muscle. The trochanter major (Fig. 8A-B: t m) is not at all prominent and is not cut off sharply from the shaft of the bone distally as is the case in Dicynodon trigonocephalies. No fourth trochanter is visible. The dorsal surface of the bone bears a prominent patch of striations (Fig. 8B: str) on its anterior margin just distal to the head. This is a likely insertion for the pubo-ischio-femoralis internus muscle. Posterior, to this area the femur is excavated into an elongate fossa which extends well down the bone towards the constricted middle portion (Fig. 8B: e fo). This is probably the extensive origin of the femorotibialis muscle. Posterior to this fossa the edge of the bone is thickened and striated as it is on the ventral surface. Presumably the iliofemor-.
