| Specimen 3335 Male | Specimen 3291x Female | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Skull, | greatest length front to back | 420 mm. | 392 mm. |
| Skull, | greatest width | 252 mm. | 236 mm. |
| Skull, | length of nasal bone | 115 mm. | 102 mm. |
| Skull, | length of palate | 235 mm. | 230 mm. |
The atlas associated with skull No. 3335 is a decidedly heavy bone in all its proportions. The axis and the third cervical were associated with skull No. 3291x, and are likewise heavy bones. The following are typical measurements:
| Atlas, | greatest length | 86 mm. |
| Atlas, | greatest width | 170 mm. |
| Axis, | length of centrum and odontoid process | 132 mm. |
| Axis, | length of odontoid process | 34 mm. |
| Axis, | width across anterior cotyles | 98 mm. |
| Cervical 3, | length of centrum | 66 mm. |
| Cervical 3, | width of posterior end of centrum | 55 mm. |

While there are other vertebrae in the collection, which probably belong to this species, I have not cared to make the association without some evidence of a definite character. However, in the case of a fore limb, which was found fairly near one of the skulls, is of proper size, and because this humerus occurs with something like the frequency of the skulls, I have been convinced that it belonged to this species, and so described it under the genus. This specimen consists of the two humeri, the radius and the ulna, No. 3328.
