SCAPULA.

_Barnegat City_ (female).—Superior border irregular. Posterior angle

acute. Anterior and posterior borders nearly straight. Ridges distinct.

Acromion broad both at base and at tip, sharply bent upward, so as to be

parallel with anterior border of scapula. Coracoid nearly as long as

acromion, slender, a little curved upward, irregular and somewhat

expanded at the end.

_Newport_ (male).—Superior border irregularly rounded. Posterior angle

obtuse, anterior angle projecting. Ridges indistinct. Anterior and

posterior borders nearly straight, but irregular. Acromion broad at base,

tapering toward the tip, which is again somewhat expanded; bent upward,

but not sufficiently to be parallel with anterior margin of blade.

Coracoid rather thick, irregular, strongly expanded at tip.

_Charleston_ (female, jr.).—Rather too much abraded for comparisons, but

posterior margin more concave than in either of the other skeletons.
