The type specimen of the following genus is unfortunately entirely 
decayed. That it was a Cystignathid there is no doubt, but beyond 
that it is not possible to say what were its affinities :— 
Atsoprs, Bell, Zool. Beagle, Rept. p. 41; Giinth. Cat. p. 42. 
«Head convex, crown smooth. Tongue acutely produced in front, 
rounded and free behind. Palatine teeth in two small close patches 
between the interior nostrils. Fingers four, short, webbed at the 
base (inner toe broad, fringed). ‘Toes webbed to the third phalange.” 
(Bell.) “Tympanum, cavum tympanicum, tuba eustachil, wanting: 
diapophysis of sacral vertebra appears to be a little dilated towards 
the end.” (Gumnther.)
