_Ribs._--Description based upon two perfect ones, and parts of four
more.
The ribs, as in _Dinoceras_, "resemble very much those of the
Mastodon." The capitulum has two convex facets, separated by a
narrow groove. The sternal end in one is very much expanded, but
less so in the other. The tubercle is small, and is situated upon
the prolongation of the lamelliform process for the intercostal
muscles. The angle is much sharper than in the corresponding ribs of
_Mastodon_.

_Scapula_ (Plate VIII., Fig. 1).--The scapula is subtriangular,
with the pre-scapular border as base, and the apex half way up the
postscapular.
