The formula for the phalanges is:
I2 II4 III3 IV5 and these as in the bird
they should have next to the ferguson bone.
Digits 2-3-4 have a very small terminal
phalanx only 20 mill long on digit 4
the space between the phalanges which
is filled with cartilage, diminishes
somewhat distally - between the
4th metacarpal and the 1st phalanx of
that digit it is 25 mil.
There are 5 carpal ossifications -
lateral in the distal row + 2 proximally
Humerus
Radius
Ulna
The radius & ulna as both firmly
anchored to the distal end of the
humerus - so firmly that the end of
either bone can not be determined
accurately - the ones given below
are as nearly as possible correct
lengths humerus.
245.0 mil
" radius
= 370
" ulna
= 270
Breadth radius distally = 190 (or)
" ulna " = 200 "
The ulna has a very well marked ole-
cranon process - this is 110 mil long
+ 130 mil broad at the distal end.
Scapula Left [?] External surface is deeply
concave - The spine + prescapular
fossa are indistinct -
The suprascapular edge is irregular.
