D. brevitertius and D. samueli

["Tommy Bradley" <htomsirveaux@mybluelight.com>]

Good evening everybody :-)
Once again, I could use a bit of help with Dromiceiomimus' two species names: 
D. brevitertius and D. samueli.  I know brevitertius means "Short third," but 
to what is it referring?  The third metatarsal?  And I know samueli is honoring 
someone by the name of Samuel, but I was unable to find Parks' inspiration for 
the name.
BTW, is D. samueli synonymous with the type species?  Or was it's possible 
inclusion with the type species merely speculation?
Thanks in advance,
Tommy Bradley
