The limbs are large; the digits lengthened; more depressed than in A. piinrtatum, but linear, not triangular in shape. Tlie lateral ones are more lengthened than usual, and those of each limb ure more nearly of a length? The free portion of longest linger is more than one-third from tip to elbow; that of longest toe in the same proportion. The gape of the head is wide; the length more than half the width. The width of the head is contained four times in distance from snout to Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cope, E.
