neural and pleurapophyses, is placed in the collection, and marked 

 from ' Rode, four miles south of Northampton.' It is very perfect, 

 shewing in the broad flat neural floor two conspicuous foramina, 

 and two others, as usual, on the lower surface. The pleurapophyses 

 were supported by two extensive slightly prominent concave sur- 

 faces, divided by a deep horizontal furrow. 



Length, r% inch ; breadth, 3'55; height, 2*2; concavity, 0*2. , 

 There is, I believe, no Oxford clay in situ very near to Kode 

 (Roade), but fossils of that deposit are frequent in the drift clays 

 which abound there.
