R. Lydekker in Ann. and Mag. N.H. (6) IV. p. 475, remarks 

 that fossil skulls of a small Labyrinth odont from the Karoo 

 formation, S. Africa, agree so closely with Bothriceps, Huxley, 

 presumahly from the Hawkeshury heels of Australia that they may 

 be regarded as indicating a new species of that genus, for which 

 he proposes the name B. Huxleyi ; and that this instance is 

 paralleled by the occurrence of Cleithrolepis in both deposits.
