XL CETEOSAURUS. 251 



A few days later, the anticipation expressed in the notice just 

 given was fulfilled, and Dr. Rolleston and Mr. J. Parker were 

 present to witness the exhumation of a scapula, pubis, and sternal 

 and coracoid bones; and we completed a general plan of the 

 ' ossuary' a small space of ground within which to find so many 

 and so large relics of ancient life. 



The bones thus placed did not for the most part actually touch the 

 oolite, still less were imbedded in it, though single examples occurred 

 of each circumstance. The strata covering the solid oolite were 

 thus noted, March 21, 1870 : 



Thin skerry beds of Forest marble and shaly clay. ft. in. 



Band of white calcareous concretions and clay o 10 



Blue and greenish clay with white calcareous spots, and selenite . .27 

 Brown, yellow, and grey layers, argillaceous, sandy, and oolitic . . .14 



Grey and argillaceous bed, with selenite 02 



Grey and greenish bed loosely oolitic, with Terebratula maxillata, Avicula, 



Astarte .08 



Clay and loosely- aggregated oolitic parts, with selenite and abundance of 



carbonized wood, some shells, and most of the bones . . . .16 



Clay below . . . o 6 



Great oolite with undulated and water-worn surface. 



The two lower bands c die out' to the southward, and there some 

 of the bones came in contact with the rock, and others were en- 

 gaged in it. 



Besides the bones which are represented in the plan, the workmen 

 took up several others in fragments, and many vertebrae, which 

 have come to the Museum, and are now restored as completely 

 as our full baskets furnished the materials. A census being now 

 taken, we find that the 'Enslow Rocks' have yielded parts of 

 three individuals, of three ages and sizes the grandfather, father, 

 and son. With them were found a few bones of megalosaurus, and 

 one tooth of that animal. None of these animals have here fur- 

 nished a head or any very intelligible part of one, as far as we have 

 yet ascertained. It seems probable that in the former working of 

 the quarry a good number of bones, which belonged to the second 

 and third members of the family, have been destroyed possibly 

 the heads and cervical vertebrae may have suffered this misfortune. 

 There remains, however, a small portion of unmoved ground yet to 

 be examined m . 



m Heads of teleosaurus are not infrequent at Enslow Bridge, and in beds of Great 

 oolite below the strata containing ceteosaurus.
