  1. The range values of Hm, Hl and DAPl for the astragali of D. megarhinus (N = 7) and S. jeanvireti (N = 6) are based on the material studied at NMB. The range values of Hm and Hl for the astragali of S. etruscus are from Fortelius et al. (1993)
  2. Hmax maximal height, Hm medial height, Hl lateral height, Dtmax maximal transverse diameter, DTD distal transverse diameter, DTDa distal articular transverse diameter, DAPm medial antero-posterior diameter, DAPl lateral antero-posterior diameter
