Boonstra and Marais. Genus P\elosuchus Broom A part of the scapula preserved indicates a fairly close similarity to the scapula of Kerotocephalus, as does also the incomplete weathered coracoid. The femur (Fig. 7) is fairly short (420 mm.) and broad; the width over the external tro- chanter is 215 mm.; the preaxial face is deeply concave with the caput directed much preaxially; the external trochanter does not appear to be demarcated by a notch from the proximal face; the internal trochanter lies near the middle of the bone far away from the preaxial border and is a prominent and strong tubercle; the shaft is fairly strong and broad (diams. 132 x 80 mm.); the distal facets are terminal. A distorted tibia appears to be stout and short with a cnemial eminence. strong Pelosuchus priscus Broom The specific description is as for the genus. Type: 918. Part of a scapula, coracoid, a fairly good femur (Fig. 7). Femur of Pelosuchus priscus. (x £•) 918. a. Ventral view. b. Anterior view. Note: In the femur "dorsal" and "ventral" are projections on the plane in which the ventral faces of the condyles lie and "anterior" on to the axial plane at right angles to the above. and distorted tibia, associated with a weathered dentary.
