Broivni, Fig. 13.—Eight femur, anterior aspect. Fig. 14.—Right femur, internal aspect. more slender, more compressed above the external trochanter, and otherwise of different character. On the whole, the bone approximates nearest to MassosjJondyluSy indicating an animal about three fifths of the dimensions of the type, with the femur not more than half the diameter of the larger bone at its extremities. It is not certain that these remains may not be referable to Hortalotarsus. That could only be determined by discovery of the tibia or other distinctive element. While there is this possibility that the remains may belong to the Eagle's Crag genus, I prefer, in the absence of evidence, not to affirm the identity. The differences from Massospondylus are sufficiently obvious to prevent inconvenience from recording the species as (?) Massospondylus Browni.
