Spent the evening at Ungui's house to
see his (maul Chond tracks. All appear
to me like of the Cheirotherium type with
five toes. Ungui thinks some have six
toes but cannot see it that way. A
peculiarity of some of the tracks are the long
fingers with the 3 outside toes much curved
and turned outwards. It is usually these thin
toes that show. The prints of the toes show
plainly and seem to have had broad nails.
Toes that dug deeply into the mud. The tail
often shows in the centre of the track as a
slender drag. Sometimes the entire under
side of the belly drags and at times there are
crescentic additions as if the shoulder
hooves shored into the mud.
There may be five kinds of tracks. Ungui
however makes many more, 10- including
are the tracks made by lips.
