The third segment—the bracliium—is not so clear in the relief, but is better sliown on the counterpart. Its length is about 10 mm., its width about 3*3 mm. There is a slight, non-granular, longitudinal ridge, perhaps two, on the side next the observer. The hand has a length of 8'2 mm., measured from the proximal joint to the groove between the two fingers; it has a greatest width of 66 mm. The outline is subquadrate, tending to rhomboidal, with the lobe scarcely defined. The outer portion, leading up to the movable finger, is separated by a longitudinal depression from the main oval portion. Tiie fingers are long and slender. The outer one appears to have been the movable finger, and the articulation to the hand can be distinguished in the relief; the distal portion is preserved only in the counterpart. The length of this finger is 10*5 mm.; its width in the distal two-thirds does not exceed 1'7 mm.; but at the proximal end is a projection (the finger-lobe) on the inner side. The outer margin has a slight convex curvature. The inner or anterior finger, which does not appear to have been movable, has a length of 8"7 ram.; its width in the distal two-thirds does not exceed 2 mm. ; but at the proximal end is a projection on the inner side, as well as a knob, so
