The _manus_ is described from the third and fourth metatarsals, with three phalanges. The metatarsals are short, with a wide, stout shaft, flat in front and slightly arched forwards behind. The proximal ends unite and form a continuous articular face, concave from side to side; while upon the exposed sides are smooth facets, indicating the presence of two additional toes of less size. (See Plate III.) The convex distal faces are marked behind by a slight groove.
The _phalanges_ are very short and broad, the lower facets marked by a shallow median groove. The ungual phalanx is wide and short, with a crescentic outline.
