   Our 
  specimen 
  appears 
  undoubtedly 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  large 
  one 
  of 
  this 
  

   species 
  although 
  it 
  also 
  closely 
  resembles 
  the 
  allied 
  species

  The 
  reference 
  of 
  this 
  specimen 
  to 
  the 
  above 
  species 
  is 
  made 
  

   provisional 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  its 
  imperfect 
  condition 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  but 
  

   little 
  doubt, 
  however, 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  correct.
