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.
