in invertebrate zoology the name "femur" appears in arthropodology. the usage is not homologous with that of vertebrate anatomy; the term "femur" simply has been adopted by analogy and refers, where applicable, to the most proximal of (usually) the two longest jointed segments of the legs of the arthropoda. the two basal segments preceding the femur are the coxa and trochanter. this convention is not followed in carcinology but it applies in arachnology and entomology. in myriapodology another segment, the prefemur, connects the trochanter and femur.

vananda, montana





























vananda is a former unincorporated village in northwestern rosebud county, montana, usa, along the route of u.s. highway 12. the town was established in 1908 as a station stop on the chicago, milwaukee, st. paul and pacific railroad, then under construction across montana. the railway used vananda as a water stop for its steam locomotives, and built a small reservoir near the townsite to ensure an adequate water supply.
