330 Reporls and Proceedingn — 



have been collected by himself near Beaufort West. The preserva- 

 tion of the specimen leaves something to be desired, but notwith- 

 standing defects the skull belongs to a most interesting Anomodont, 

 indicating a new family of fossil Reptilia. 



The skull is fully described in the paper, and its relationships 

 are discussed. The author has already given reasons for regarding 

 A^lurosaurus feUnus, Lycosniiriis curvimola, and their allies as refer- 

 able to a suborder Gennetotheria, which is nearly related apparently 

 to the Pelycosauria, and lies midway between the typical Theriodontia 

 and the Dicynodoutia. It is to this suborder that Dt-Jphinognatlms 

 maj'' be referred, though it forms a family-tj'pe distinct from the 

 u^lurosaxiridce, distinguished by the conical parietal with a large 

 foramen, the anterior supi-a-condylar notch in the squamosal bone, 

 and other modifications of the skull and teeth.

 Oude Kloof, in the Nieuwveldt Mountains, Cape Colony." By Prof. 

 H. G. Seeley, F.Pt.S., F.G.S. 



Two bones found by Mr. T. Bain at Oude Kloof, consist of the 

 left ramus of the mandible and what the author regards as the left 

 squamosal bone of E. bathystoiua. The small cranial fragment pre- 

 served shows that the cerebral region probably conformed to the 

 type of skull seen in some of the Dicynodonts. 



A description of the remains is given, and the author notices that 

 the form of the articular condyle indicates a diiference from Dicyiio- 

 dordia and SiW other Anomodontia hitherto described; it implies an 

 oblique forward inclination of the quadrate bone — a character im- 

 portant in defining the suborder Eudoihiodontia. All the characters 

 of the dentition of the animal suggest near affinity with the Therio- 

 dontia, especially the long lancelolate teeth strongly serrated.

 Endsleigh Street, and on Sections exposed in Endsleigh Gardens, 

 Gordon Street, Gordon Square, and Tavistock Square, N.W." By 

 Henry Hicks, M.D., F.R.S., Secretary of the Geological Society. 



In this paper the author gives a description of the deposits over- 

 lying the loam in which the remains of the Mammoth and other 

 animals were found in Endsleigh Street, N.W. Under about 6 feet 

 of made ground there was about 10 feet of a yellowish-brown clay 

 containing flints and much ' race.' Below the clay there was 

 about 5 feet of sand and gravel, and under this about 1 foot of 

 clayey loam, in which most of the bones were embedded. This 

 loam contained many seeds, recognized V)y Mr. Clement Reid, 

 F.G.S., as being those of plants usually found in marshy places or 

 ponds and having a range at present from the Arctic Circle to the 

 South of Europe. A list of the bones found is given by Mr. E. T. 

 Newton, F.G.S., of the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn 

 Street, who describes them as being those of one full-grown 

 Mammoth, of another about half-grown, of the Red Deer, the fossil 

 Horse, and of a small rodent. 



The author gives sections through Endsleigh Street and along 

 the southern side of Endsleigh Gardens, and shows that where the
