This specimen is one of the most instructive which has yet been tlis- 

 covered, including, as it does, fifty vertebrsE from all parts of the column, a 

 large part of the cranium, with teeth, and both quadrate bones; the scapular 

 arcli complete, except back of coracoid on one side; botli humeri, radius, and 

 numerous phalanges of fore limb; the pelvic arch complete, with one hind 

 limb complete to tarsus, with phalanges. The premaxillary is wanting, but 

 the adjacent suture of the maxillary remains. 



Portions of a second individual of this species, or of L. proriger, were 

 found On the Fox Cafion. They belonged to a larger animal, one equal to 

 the New Mexican first described. Professor Mudge has fragments of still 

 larger specimens. 



The principal specimen above described was excavated from a chalk 

 bluff. Fragments of the jaws were seen lying on the slope, and other por- 

 tions entered the shale. On being followed, a part of the cranium was taken 

 from beneath the roots of a busli, and the vertebrje and limb-bones were 

 found farther in. The vertebral series extended parallel with the. outcrop 

 of the beds, and finally turned into the hill, and was followed so far as time 

 would permit. It was aliandoned at the anterior caudal vertebrae. 



The outcrop of the stratum was light-yellow. The concealed part of the 

 bed was bluish. Yellow chalk left on the specimens in thin layers became a 

 white, or nearly so. The yellow and blue strata are definitely related in most 

 localities, the former being the superior; but in others they pass into each 

 other on the same horizon.
