Natural history. 142 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM clavicle bear longitudinal striae, and the backward movement of the clavicle is limited by a thickened border on the clavicle which abuts against the anterior edge of the interclavicle. The dorsal stem of the clavicle and its ventral spatulate end subtend what is nearly a right angle. The anterior end of the interclavicle is large and nearly circular in outline, and a strong median ridge separates the two facets for the clavicles. The posterior end is greatly expanded but short, and is remarkably lightly built. In 11695 there is a fairly complete shoulder girdle, but with the constituent bones displaced and distorted by dorso-ventral pressure. The anterior head of the interclavicle and ventral spatula of the clavicle are both relatively smaller than in 11557, and the dorsal stem of the clavicle is longer and more slender, with a bifurcated end. The scapular blade is fairly tall but is relatively lightly built. Therioides (fig. 18) In 11888, the holotype specimen, much of the pectoral girdle is preserved, but here again disarticulation and distortion have made reassembly and restoration of symmetry, as shown in the figures, difficult. The girdle is very like.
