There are, however, some scraps, notably L22985, the distalpart of the third tarsometatarsal and some adjacent bone, and L23402, approxi-mately the same but even more poorly preserved, which belong to a definitelydistinct and larger species (Fig. 5). The species could well be the same as thatrepresented by the larger femora. On L23018 it can be determined that the medial intermetatarsal foramen(or inner proximal foramen of Zusi 1975) is larger than the lateral foramen andslightly more distal. It opens on the plantar side distal to the medial (inner) 68 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM. 00 CD LT> ro (\i Fig. 3. Spheniscidae indet.
