bone. =J=._b_.5, no. 3.
3. Exterior aspect of the same specimen.
4. Inner aspect of another proximal end. =J=._b_.5, no. 4.
5. The greater part of a small wing-metacarpal bone.
=J=._b_.5, no. 1. Imperfect at the distal end.
6. Distal end of a wing-metacarpal bone. =J=._b_.5, no. 31.
7. Front aspect of the same specimen.
------------------
8. Distal end of metatarsal bone or of a metacarpal bone
of a small finger. =J=._b_.8, no. 1.
9. Lateral aspect of a similar bone. =J=._b_.8, no. 2.
------------------
10. Outline of the imperfect distal termination of a bone
regarded as left metatarsus of an Ornithosaurian.
=J=._b_.13, p. 63.
11. Front aspect of the same specimen.
------------------
12. Articular aspect of proximal end of first phalange of the

wing-finger. =J=._c3_.16.12, p. 56.
2. Inner aspect of proximal end of a small wing-metacarpal
bone which has lost its proximal epiphysis; it shows
the notch for the pneumatic foramen. =J=._c1_.8.8.
3. Fragment of the proximal end of a large wing-metacarpal
bone, showing near the fig. 3 part of the articular
surface. =J=._c3_.15. 10.
4. Distal end of 1 first phalange of the wing-finger.
=J=._c6_.31. 7, no. 1.
5. Distal articular surface of a first phalange.
6. Distal end of a first phalange. =J=._b_.6, no. 4.
------------------
7. Proximal end of the second phalange of the wing-finger.
=J=._c2_.12.12, p. 57.
