On or about the summit of the arch is a large rough ovatetubercle, about 3| inches from the proximal end of the bone (fig. 8). This tuberclehas a rugous surface, is 2f inches long, 2-| inches wide.# There was something approaching to a rounded median longitudinal ridge on thesuperior surface of the bone, as in the femur of a Pareiasaurian originally termedPropappus; but, towards the distal end, this convex superior surface becomes # [There is something approaching this condition in the limb bone of B
