most perfect preservation, at a horizon about 300 feet above 

 the homestead. 



As is clearly shown by the sktill, which is represented in 

 the figure with its slight distortion corrected, it is different 

 from any described species. In many ways it is nearest to 

 Dicynodon kolbei, Broom, but differs in the considerably 

 smaller face, which is, indeed, amongst the feeblest known 

 in the genus. One curious feature in which it resembles 

 D. microtrema, Seeley, is the small occipital condyle, a plain 

 cylindrical process showing no trace of the tripartite division 



Dicynodon haJli, AVatson, sp. n. ^ nat. size. 



■which is nearly always present in the genus, and squarely 

 truncated behind. 



There is clear evidence of a transpalatine bone, the long 

 dispute about the presence or absence of which is due to 

 the fact that it is present in many, perhaps most, species of 

 Dicynodon, but actually absent in others. 



There is a small septo-maxilla in this species, placed nearly 

 entirely within the nostril.
