from tlio same fonnatioTi. Three new species fall to Huxley's 

 AMnthojiholis, one of the Dinosaurs. Macrosaunts is a new Dinosaur. 

 Four new species are added to the Ichthyosaurs. There is a now 

 species of Crocodile ; seven new Plesiosaurs ; three new Stcneosaurs. 

 A new Chclonian genus (lihinocJuh/s) involves one of Owen's Che- 

 Io)us, and has sixteen species besides ; and Trachiidermochel ijs is 

 another new genus from this exceedingly rich deposit of the remains 

 of Mesozoic life. 



A new IijuanoJon (PJtilJipsH) from the Wealdcn is indicated. A 

 now l^eroihu't ;/h(s and four new species of rieurostcrnon are added 

 fi'om Purbeck. The Kimmeridge Clay yields a new terrestrial 

 reptile (Gi(/aiitosmtrus me(falonjf,v), two new Iththyosaurs, a new 

 Dakosaur, two new Plesiosaurs, and a new Chelonian {Enalio- 

 cJicIifs); and pages 102-105 are devoted to a critical examination 

 of some vertebi-a? from the Kimmeridge Clay, that lead Mr. Seeley 

 to refer Owen's Plcsiosaio'HS In-achijsj'ondtflus and PL brachi/deirus 

 both to Pliosaia'KS. Lastly, the new genus Crifjttosaunts and some 

 new species of Ichthyosaur, Pliosaur, Plesiosaur, and Steneosaur come 

 from the Oxford Clay. 



Great care has been taken in the preparation and production of 

 this valuable catalogue*. The Prefatory Note by the reverend "\Vood- 

 wardian Curator and Professor shows Ids hearty earnestness in his 

 work, — the pleasurable reminiscences of his collecting-days and 

 fellow workers in years gone by, — his no less cordial appreciation of 

 the researches and labours of the younger men who come and go with 

 the tides of university life, — and his warm recognition of Mr. Seeley's 

 xealous and patient study, some of the results of which are so con- 

 spicuously shown in this well-arranged and richly suggestive 

 catalogue. • 



Professor Sedgwick intimates that other catalogues are in progress, 

 and among them a more detailed catalogue of the lleptilian remains. 

 It is by such adjuncts that a museum is made of value to students ; 

 and already the Woodwardian Professor has made great progress to 

 this end, both with the catalogue before us and the magniticent work 

 by himself and M'Coy on the British Palaeozoic Fossils in the Cam- 

 bridge Museum, published in 1852. 



Memoire sur les Axcvbolcs. Par M. E. Boudier. (Annales des 

 Sciences NatureUcs, cinquieme serie, tome x. 1868.) 



M. Boudier has published an interesting account of the genus 

 Ascobolus in the ' Annales des Sciences Naturelles ' for 1868. It is 

 the first time that that genus has been treated monographicaUy, 

 with the accompaniment of carefully drawn coloured figures, as well 

 of the plants as seen by the unassisted eye, and slightly magnified, 

 as of their fructification %'iewed under the higher powers of the 

 microscope. M. Boudier traces the history of the genus from the
