I. — On a Tooth o/Ceratolus and a Dinosaurian Claio from 

 the Loioer Jurassic of Victoria, Australia. By A. Smith 

 Woodward, LL.D., F.R.S., of the British Museum. 



[Plate I.] 



The Jurassic Vertebrate fauna of the Australian region is 

 still almost unknown, some Ganoid fishes =*= and, perhaps, a 

 few small Dinosaurian bones f being the only fossils repre- 

 senting it hitherto described. A tooth of Ceratodus and a 

 Dinosaurian claw discovered by Mr. W. H. Ferguson in the 

 Lower Jurassic cliffs of Cape Patterson on the south coast of 

 Victoria are thus of special interest. I am indebted to 

 Prof. J. W. Gregory, F.R.S., for the opportunity of studying 

 these specimens.
