The following measurements are taken from specimen No. 3328:

Scapula,greatest length694 mm.
Scapula,greatest width283 mm.
Scapula,glenoid fossa, ant.-post. diameter130 mm.
Scapula,glenoid fossa, transverse diameter90 mm.
Scapula,height of spine120 mm.
Scapula,width of enlarged margin of spine
at the lower end  170 mm.
Scapula,width of margin in middle45 mm.

The humerus was associated with the two scapulae mentioned above, and is complete. For such a large animal, its length is excessive, greater than that of the species assigned by Gaudry to P. herculeum which species has a skull larger than that of P. holmbergi.

Humerus,greatest length720 mm.
Humerus,greatest width across proximal end  248 mm.
Humerus,least diameter of shaft78 mm.
Humerus,width across the epicondyles220 mm.
Humerus,width of trochlea on distal end125 mm.

The femur which Gaudry figures as belonging to Astrapotherium magnum corresponds, as far as the distal end will admit comparison, with the one which we found in the Deseado beds, so that in restoring the outline of the missing parts, I have based it on this A. magnum.

Femur,length (estimated)480 mm.
Femur,width of distal end 135 mm.
Femur,width of trochlea57 mm.
