Fauna and Stratigraphy of the Stormberg Series. 367 



The account given by van Hoepen of the post-cranial skeleton is 

 correct save that the bone which he describes as the less-completely 

 preserved scapula I take to be a coracoid, elongate in shape some- 

 what similar to that seen in the Crocodilia and in Notochampsa. 

 It is also possible that the small fragment lying above the supposed 

 coracoid and below the humerus of the other side is the impression 

 of part of a small straight interclavicle. The assumption of the 

 presence of a coracoid is justified by the long straight distal articular 

 surface of the scapula lying anterior to the glenoid cavity; this is 

 equal in length to the articular surface of the supposed coracoid, 

 which has a comparatively narrow middle portion with strongly 

 expanded ends. 



If a coracoid be truly present, then an interesting comparison can 

 be drawn between Pedeticosaurus and Notochampsa, as I have pointed 

 out in the re-description of the latter form. Pedeticosaurus is a 

 slightly smaller animal having, however, its hind legs longer and 

 more strongly developed than those of Notochampsa. The resem- 

 blances are close enough to suggest a family connection, and I have 

 therefore placed both genera in the same family. 



I have to thank Mi'. M. Leviseur and the Bloemfontein Museum 

 authorities for permission to examine the type.

Pelvis. In his original description of this form, Broom says "the 

 pelvis is typically Crocodilian in that the pubis does not enter the 

 acetabulum. The ilium is of small size." 



The pelvis as preserved is seen partly on the main slab and partly 

 on a small piece of rock which was broken off in the development 

 of the fossil for the purpose of examining the pelvis. This latter 

 shows the two ischia, most of the two prepubes, and a portion of 

 the left ilium (partly in bone and partly as a mould). The main 

 slab shows moulds of these bones with small pieces of bone adhering. 



The ilium is incomplete. It was a stout bone, nearly as large as
