Two weeks ago now ... but determined to fill in last answer!! 47a "Like bones found in chest around area along shore". It's got to be (I think!) C?A?T?A. I've found something about a bony structure CHACTEA ... but can't find it in any dictionary. A completed crossword must be sent off today!

COASTAL

COSTAL bones are ribs

the bones (ribs)around the chest are the costal bones
around a - coastal

Coastal?

Thanks to all. A small error in 38d had thrown me. Now perhaps I can get up to date again!
