I made plaster of Paris casts of four clear tracks. Taking into account the nature of the ground, there is reason to believe that they were made by at least two and possibly by three animals. The measurements of the tracks are as follows:
Length (from tip to central nail to rear of pad)
Breadth (between tips of lateral nails)
Cast Length Breadth Central Nail
1 21 cm 22 cm 8 cm
2 20 cm 19 cm 6 cm Possibly same animal
3 19 cm 18.5 cm 6 cm Possibly hind foot
4 15 cm 14 cm 5 cm
