long to Prof. Owen’s new genus Labyrinthodon. In the seven- 
teenth section of the present Report, were described the remains 
of the flying reptiles (Pterodactylus macronyr) from Lyme Regis 
and the oolite of Stonesfield. Some remains of undetermined 
Saurians from the bone bed at Aust Passage, and other localities, 
were noticed. The nineteenth section contained an account of 
the fossil Emydes, Trionyces, and Chelonie, hitherto discovered 
in British strata. The Chelonia Harvicensis, and two new spe- 
cies (C. breviceps and C. acutirostris) from the eocene clay at 
Sheppey, were described; and the characters of a new genus, 
(Cimochelys,) the remains of which are found in the chalk near 
Maidstone, were given in detail. 
The indications of Chelonian reptiles in more ancient strata 
were then noticed, and the femur of a tortoise, from the new red 
sandstone near Elgin, was described. The fossil reptiles of the 
order Ophidia, discovered by Mr. Owen in the London clay at 
Sheppey, have already been noticed; to these were added de- 
scriptions of a smaller species of Paleophis, from the eocene sand 
at Kyson, and of a much larger species not less than twenty feet 
in length, from the London clay at Bracklesham. ‘The last sec- 
tion of the Report was chiefly devoted to the details of the deter- 
. mination of remains of the fossil Batrachians, identical with the 
so-called genera Mastodonsaurus and Salamandroides of the 
German Keuper, and on which the characters of the genus Laby- 
rinthodon are based. Reasons were given, showing the high 
probability that the foot prints referred to the Chirotherium, were 
those of the Batrachian genus Labyrinthodon.
