Fossil Reptiles. 275 



Thelegnathits pcD'vus, n. sp. 



This species is founded 'On a small fragment of probably the 

 maxilla, bearing five molars. It is not improbable that the species 

 belongs to a distinct genns, but as it is apparentl}- allied to Theleg- 

 nathiis, it seems advisable to refer it provisionallj- to this genus. The 

 teeth are fairlj" like those of Procolophon, but much smaller. They 

 are anchylosed to the bone, and are placed more closelj' together 

 than in either Procolophon or in Thelegnathus Brownt. The 5 

 teeth measure 9 mm. The largest, which is the posterior, 

 measures 3.5 mm. in width. The teeth are scarcely at all con- 

 stricted, the sides being almost parallel. 



Notes on the Localities of some type specimens of the Karroo 

 Fossil Reptiles. By R. Broom, M.D. 



Though the collectors of fossil reptiles have been much more 

 careful in giving exact localities than were the earlj' botanists who 

 too often seem to have been quite satisfied to label a specimen 

 " Cape of Good Hope," yet for the determination of the various 

 zones or divisions of the Beaufort beds more exact information is 

 often required than that with which we are provided. Andrew 

 Bain and Tliomas Bain were both usually careful to give the name 

 of the farm on whicli the specimens were collected, but in sending 

 large collections to London occasionallj' the specimens appear to 

 have got mi.\:ed. It is, of coui-se, impossible now to correct 

 mistakes made GO years ago, except in a few cases. A few 

 corrections which I am able to make in the localities as given in 

 the British Museum Catalogue of Fossil Reptiles appear to be worth 

 recording.
