Limb Bones of Paroligobunis aimplicidens. 5 nat. size. 1, anterior view of femur ; 2, posterior view of femnr ; 3, fibular view of fibula; 4, anterior view of fibula. Both astragali are represented. In comparison with the length of the bone the trochlea is somewhat narrower than that of Megaliclis fcrox. The trochlea is very shallow and is more oblique and imperfect than in either Meles or Lutra and rather more like that of Gulo luscus, the internal condyle being less developed, while the exter- nal is higher than in the two recent forms first mentioned. The tibial face of the inter- nal condyle is not interrupted by the sulcus, which is so characteristic of Daphosnodon, but is continuous as in Gulo and Meles. The pos- terior limit of the trochlea, as well as its down-.
