. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. Fig. 1.—Lateral view of right limb and girdle of Bradysaurus seeleyi (5624). x £. of three bony elements. The clavicles and cleithra are paired, whereas the interclavicle is an unpaired median bone. Whilst the clavicles and the interclavicle are robustly developed, the cleithrum is a degenerate bone which is functionally, to all appearance, redundant. The bones of the clavicular girdle are dermal bones ossa investitientia, are derived from the cutigenous layer of the miotome and are not pre-form

The bones of the clavicular girdle are dermal bones ossa investitientia, are derived from the cutigenous layer of the miotome and are not pre-formed in cartilage. Phylogenetically these bones are older than those of the scapular girdle. Contrary to Broom's (11) expressed opinion, it does not appear.
