Tbaquair, R. H. Oil Uroneinus magnuSy a new fossil fish from the 

 Coal-measures of Airdrie, Lanarkshire. Geol. Mag. dec. 2, vol.i. 

 pp. 554, 555. 

 This is referred with confidence to the Phaneropleurini, and with 

 some hesitation to the genus Uronemus. 



On a new Genus of Possil Eish of the Order Dipnoi. Journ. 



Boy. Geol. Soc. Ireland, ser. 2, vol. iv. part 1, pp. 1-4, plate. 

 Describes a fragment of bone now in the British Museum, and con- 

 sidered by Agassiz identical with the intermaxillary bone of Megalich- 

 ihys. Regards it as closely allied to Dipterus, and therefore includes it 

 in the order Dipnoi. The superficial characters and internal microscopic 

 structure are described, and the name Ganorliynchus Woodwardi is pro- 

 posed. The locality and formation of the fossil are unknown : from 

 its appearance one might be tempted to infer that it is Palaeozoic.

Vassefr, G. Sur le pied de derriere de VHycenodon Parisiensis. 



[Hind foot of Hycenodon Parisiensis.'] Compt. Rend. t. Ixxviii. 



pp. 1446, 1447. 



The discovery of part of a humerus of this species at Romainville, and 



of a hind foot, all but perfect, in the gypsum of Rosny, confirms M. 



Gervais's assertion that both the Hyaenodons and the Pterodons must 



be placed among the Carnivora, and not among the Marsupials.

 Porms intermediate between Birds and Reptiles. Quart. Journ.

 Reviews the facts which have been adduced to support the relation- 

 ship of birds to reptiles, and illustrates a bipedal track from the Solen- 

 hofen Limestone by observations on the gait of the Frilled Lizard of 

 Australia (CTilamydosaurus Kingii). L. C. M.

The presence of a bony nasal septum in this species is established by 

 the observations of Mr. Davies.
