of '28 mm. and a distal width of 30'5 mm. At the distal end the 

 medial portion of the articular surface is bigger than the lateral. 

 The other bone, which is probably the first phalanx of the first digit 

 of the left foot, has an axis which curves outwards at the distal end. 

 The greatest length is 53 mm., the proximal width 33 mm., and the 

 maximum distal width 32 mm. At the distal end the palmar surface 

 is much broader than the dorsal surface.

PLATEOSAURUS CULLINGWORTHI, sp. nov. 

 Text figs. 3135. 





At Kromme Spruit, Herschel, C. P. a number of fragments of 

 large Dinosaurian bones belonging to 3 or 4 individuals were found 

 weathered out down one of the slopes of a steep kopje formed of 

 the basal rocks of the Red Beds. At one point near the top of 

 the same kopje bones were found in situ. Excavation revealed a 

 "pocket" of isolated bones belonging to two individuals - - a larger 

 and a smaller of apparently the same species. Some of the 



weathered bones, including two femora, have also been associated 

 with these remains; the remainder belong obviously to an animal 

 of heavier build, having large and heavy dorsal vertebrae and have 

 been described as a species of Euskelesaurus. The bones from the 

 pocket, together with the two femora and one or two other bones 

 are considered to belong to a new species of Plateosaurus which I 

 have named in honour of Mr. C. W. Cullingworth to whose energy 

 some of the finds are due. 



Although this form shows some differences from the more typical 

 members of the genus from Europe, especially in the greater length 

 of the humerus compared with that of the other bones, it has not 

 been considered advisable to separate it generically from Plateosaurns. 



Vertebrae. Cervical. Judging from the curvature of the ventral 

 border of the centrum, the only cervical vertebra preserved (S.A.M. 

 Cat. No. 3345) is probably the 3rd. or 4th. or possibly the 5th. 

 Taking a line at right angles to the end faces, the posterior ventral 

 point lies 34 mm. below the anterior ventral point. The total length 

 of the centrum is 157 mm. Its ends are roughly circular, the 

 anterior 57 mm. high, the posterior 61 mm. The posterior end is 

 more deeply concave than the anterior, and both have their ventral
