TWO NEW REPTILES EI?OM THE KAKROO liKPS OF NATAL. 169 



ing along the posterior border. In front the palate has the 

 usual two premaxillary ridges well developed. The front of 

 the snout is unusually straight. It has a low median ridge 

 and a slight lateral one on each side. The nostril is of large 

 size, and probably is within 50 mm. of the edge of the jaw. 

 Antero-posteriorly it measures at least 80 mm., and the lower 

 border is moderately straight. 



There are tusks from the same locality, and most probably 

 of the same species, which are very much larger than those of 

 the type specimen. This is probably due to their being tusks 

 of males. One specimen measures at the root 57 mm. x 45 mm. 

 It is considerably crushed. Another specimen, which is also 

 crushed, measures 59 mm. x43 mm. 



The type specimen was discovered at p]nnersdale. Natal, by 

 Mr. A. S. Woodgate.

The Therocephalian specimen is the snout of a moderate- 

 sized reptile. It is considerably crushed from above down- 

 wards, l)nt otherwise is in good preservation. The front 

 part of both mandibles is preserved, and the right one has 

 been detached from the skull and cleared of matrix. The 

 animal has manifestly had a broad, yet deep, snout, while 

 probably the back part of the skull was relatively short. 



The nasal bones are broad both in front and behind. Pos- 

 teriorly the two probably measure 45 mm. across, and in front 

 slightly more. The greatest length of the nasals is 96 mm. 

 apparently, but it is a little difficult to be sure of the pos- 

 terior suture. Superficially the bones are slightly rugose. 



The premaxillaries are well developed, but, as in other 

 Therocephalians, considerably covered over by the maxil- 

 laries. The inter-nasal process is relatively short and broad. 

 The extra-nasal process is larger and broader than usual. 

 The nostril measures about 17 nnn. across, and the extra- 

 nasal process, so far as it is visible in front of the maxilla, 

 is 15 mm. wide. The depth of the premaxilla below the
