MR. E. BROOM ON ANOMODONT REPTILES 



specimen of Dlcijnodon laticejis. I have examined this skull, 

 and while it has all the appearance of a young skull, it cannot, 

 in my opinion, be the skull of a young D. laticeps, as it differs in 

 having a very large preparietal and very large postfrontals. 

 Nor can it be the young of either Bainia tigriceps or D. p)e.avoti. 

 And as it differs from all these three species, but manifestly 

 belongs to this group, it is necessary to make it the type of a 

 distinct species which I have much pleasure in naming after 

 Mr. S. H. Haughton, who is doing excellent work in the vast 

 South African field.

Parietal, preparietal, and frontal regions of JSainra haiujMoni Broom. 



Mr. Haughton, in addition to describing the specimen, has 

 given a figure of the preparietal region. While his figure is 

 essentially correct, a camera lucida drawing I have made of this 

 region gives, I think, a little more accurately the position of the 

 sutures. 



The following are some of the principal measurements : — 



Interorbital width 46 mm. 



Intertemporal width 34 „ 



Across the nasals 52 ,, 



Between the canines about 50 ,,
