Pterosauria
Fig. 1. Fragment of a large right os innominatum. The faint
T-shaped lines in the acetabulum indicate the limits
of the three component pelvic bones; fig. 1 is placed
at the posterior border of the ischium. =J=._b_.10, no. 1.
2. Imperfect right os innominatum, with the anterior
and posterior wings of the ilium broken away.
=J=._b_.10, no. 4, p. 69.
3. Imperfect left os innominatum showing the small obturator
foramen which divides the pubis from the
ischium. On the anterior border of the pubis is seen a
depression, which may have given attachment to the
prepubic bone. =J=._b_.10, no. 3.
4. Visceral aspect of an imperfect right ischium. =J=._c4_.20.2.
------------------
5. Exterior side aspect of a right femur. =J=._c2_.11. 20.
6. Front aspect of the same specimen, p. 62.
7. Posterior aspect of proximal end of right femur of a
different genus, showing a pit for the obturator
muscle. =J=._b_.11, no. 1.
8. Front aspect of the same specimen.
9. Outline of the proximal articular end; the obturator pit
is darkened.
10. Posterior aspect of distal end of right femur. =J=._b_.11,
no. 20.
11. Outline of the distal articular end of the same specimen.
12. Distal end of a large right femur. =J=._b_.11, no. 12.
------------------
13. Proximal end of tibia (? front aspect). =J=._b_.12, no. 8.
14. Another view of the same specimen, p. 62.
15. Outline of the articular aspect of the same tibia. The
non-articular part is shaded.
------------------
16. Claw phalange. =J=._c1_.2.5, p. 69.
17. Claw phalange. =J=._c_.9, no. 4.
PELVIS, FEMUR, TIBIA, &c.

PLATE IX.
Neck Vertebræ.
Fig. 1. Anterior aspect of an axis to which the atlas was not
anchylosed. =J=._c3_.15. 2, p. 64.
2. Anchylosed atlas and axis seen from the base of the
vertebra. =J=._c_.1, no. 8.
3. Anchylosed atlas and axis seen from above. =J=._c_.1,
no. 14.
4. Atlas, neural arch imperfect. =J=._c_.1, no. 10.
5. Anchylosed atlas and axis seen from the side, the neural
arch of the atlas is wanting. The light space in the
centrum of the axis is the pneumatic foramen. =J=._c_.1,
no. 14.
------------------
6. Large cervical vertebra seen from below. =J=._c_.2, no. 42,
p. 65.
7. Small cervical vertebra seen from below. =J=._c_.2, no. 43.
8. Cervical vertebra seen from behind. =J=._c_.2, no. 5.
9. Cervical vertebra seen from above. =J=._c_.2, no. 23.
