and possibly MyopTioria. The specimen has been compared with 

 reptilian jaws in the British Museum : it consists of a mould 

 of the deutary hone with several teeth in place. The impression 

 of the whole of the inner suriace, and of the anterior half of the 

 outer surface, is preserved. The front half of the inner surface 

 of the jaw is like that of Megalosaurus. except in size. Many 

 of the teeth are seen in various stages of projection from their 

 sockets, aud the points of two successional teeth may also he seen, 

 and thus the mode of succession of the teeth may be clearly under- 

 stood. The specimen does not admit, of exact comparison with 

 Mer/aloiavnts, and it is named as a new species of Zandodon — 

 a genus in which the Author is also inclined to place some forms 

 described under the names of Pala'osaurus, Cladyodon, Avcdonia, 

 and Picrodon.

(ii:.\TLEMEN, — Lichtenstein's 'Catalogus/ 1793-90 (3 parts), is so 

 rare that ouly two copies are known to exist, one in the British 

 Museum and one in the University of Kiel. Mr. DuCane Godman 

 reprinted part 1 (Mammalia and Birds) for the Willughby Society 

 in 1882, but he did not then know the name of the owner of the 

 collection catalogued. In working through the Banksian Tracts I 

 have come across ' Catalogus Musei Zoologici ditissimi Hamburgi, d. 

 16 Ma jus, 1797, Sectio Tertia continens Insecta.' The close simi- 

 larity of the title and of the printing of the tract, and the fact that 

 the specific names were familiar, recalled to my memory the 'Cata- 

 logus rerum.' On comparing the two I found them identical, 

 except that in the 1797 tract many species that appeared in the 

 'Catalogus rerum' were missing. The 1797 tract was therefore 

 obviously by Lichtenstein, and a reference to Hagen (Bibl. Entom. 

 L862, p. 477) showed that he had seen part 3 of the 'Catalogus 

 rerum,' but catalogued it under its subtitle, and so lost its identity. 

 Furthermore, Hagen notes that it was a catalogue of the " Museum 

 Holthuisen" (cf. Engelmann, Bibl. Hist. Nat. 1846, p. 488). It 

 therefore appears that the 1797 Catalogue was a reprint of the 

 ' Catalogus rerum' with the "sold" items struck out, and that the 

 original sale of the Museum Holthuisen being in part a failure, the 

 collection was again put up for sale in the following year.
