164 REPORT—1905. 
feet being in a line with the right (see Part i. 1903, p. 224), but im this case 
the track is fully 9 inches between the line of the middle digits of the right 
and left feet. This might be caused by the animal being in the act of turn- 
ing, but the direction of the digits shows no sign of this. 
There is a marking, extending obliquely across the lower part of the 
slab, which might at first sight be taken for the track of the tail of the 
animal whose footprints it accompanies. It is 1} inch wide and of a 
flattened cylindrical form, continuing nearly the same width throughout 
the length (about 2 feet) preserved. Longitudinal ridges, flat and in very 
low relief, are plainly discernible, as are also what appear to be the 
attachments of leaflets or small branches. The impression being cut off 
at either end by the margin of the stone, there is no trace of its natural 
termination. 
On two other slabs in the Museum there are markings that may be 
considered in connection with this—the first on a large slab labelled 
‘Slab of Keuper Sandstone with Impressions of Plants upon it, from 
Coten End Quarry, 1872 ’—(this quarry is in the Lower Keuper Sand- 
stone, near the Great Western Goods Station, Warwick. It is not being 
worked at present). On this (which is 2’ 9” x3’ 6”) are some markings 
longitudinally ribbed and like that described above, but terminating in 
narrow rods which look like continuations of the longitudinal ribs ; there 
are branched markings near each side of the main stem (?) There are no 
distinct footprints on this slab. Somewhat similar markings associated 
with footprints are also seen on a slab from Lymm, Cheshire, labelled 
‘ Footprints of Cheirotherium, Lymm, Cheshire, Richd. Corbet, Esq.’ On 
this slab are the manus and part of pes of A (probably A2), and below are 
some similar (though slightly smaller) markings to those described, with 
traces of narrow leaflets ; the ribs and rod-like termination are fairly 
clear. 
An inorganic origin of these markings, such as running water, might 
be suggested were it not for a specimen from Storeton in the British 
Museum, Natural History, R 730, which has all the features of those 
above described, but the main part of the marking is covered with rows 
of distinct scales corresponding with the longitudinal ribs on those just 
described.! 
The Footprints from Lymm.—There are a number of fairly large slabs 
from Lymm, Cheshire, but the prints upon them are all more or less im- 
perfect, and in many cases have been chipped in the quarrying. Nearly 
all the prints are of the Cheirotheroid form, A 2 ; the most interesting is 
that with supposed plant remains described above. 
Two or Three Slabs from Grimshill—oOne is a strongly ripple-marked 
slab labelled ‘ Footprints of Rhynchosaurus, New Red Sandstone, Lower 
Keuper Grinshill, presented by Sir Vincent Corbet, B.A.’ ; a second label 
in Rev. Mr. Brodie’s writing runs, ‘ Footprints of Rhynchosaurus Arti- 
ceps, Grinshill, Salop.’ There are numerous very imperfect prints, mostly 
only raised oval patches, about an inch across, and none of them showing 
detail. Besides the oval marks there is a print of three digits with the 
nails turned to one side and in every way resembling the three longer 
digits of a large D 1. 
Another print from Grimshill is in one of the glass cases. On it are
