the cliaracteristics of the Dinosaurian order. The base of the skull 

 of AcanthophoUs horridiis was described to show its relation to the 

 above type, with the view of demonstrating its Scelidosaurian 

 affinities. 



The greater part of the remains were referred by the author to a 

 new genus, Cratceomns ; some of these had been figured by Bunzel 

 as " Crocodili ambigui," and others as belonging to Scelidosaurus, 

 and to a new liacertilian genus, Danuhiosaiiriis. To Cratceomus he 

 referred mandibles, teeth, vertebrae from all parts of the column 

 except the sacrum, dermal armour, and the chief bones of the limbs. 

 Two species were distinguished, C. Paulowitscliii and C. lepidophorns. 

 The former, which is much the larger, was named in honour of M. 

 Paulowitsch, who voluntarily superintended the work at the Neue 

 AVelt. The author stated that he regarded these animals as carnivo- 

 rous, and that, unlike the typical Wealden Dinosaurs, they were not 

 Kangaroo-like in habit, but had strongly developed fore-limbs, as 

 indicated in the proposed generic name. 



Two teeth belonging to Megalosaurus were described as represent- 

 ing a new species, M. pannoniensis, characterized by the crown being 

 shorter and broader than in previously described forms. A frag- 

 ment, regarded by Bunzel as the thoracic rib of a Lizard, was 

 interpreted as the distal end of the femur of a Dinosaur, and named 

 Ornithomerus gracilis. The lower jaw, described by Bunzel as 

 Crocodilus car char idens, of which a maxillary bone also occurs, was 

 made the basis of a new genus, Doratodon, probably Dinosaurian, 

 judging from the lateral position of the apertures of the skull 

 and the characters of the teeth. The genus BJiadinosaurns was 

 founded upon the humerus and femur, the latter having been 

 regarded by Bunzel as the dorsal rib of a Crocodile ; the species 

 was named B. alcimus. OUgosaurus adelus was described as present- 

 ing Tiacertilian characters in combination with some Dinosaurian 

 peculiarities. The remains include the humerus, femur and scapula, 

 and two vertebrge, which were regarded by Bunzel as foetal vertebras 

 of a Dinosaur. The genus Hoplosavrus was founded on some 

 vertebrge, fragments of limb-bones, and dermal armour ; it shows, 

 with distinctive peculiarities, a certain resemblance to Hylcsosauriis. 

 A procoelian Crocodile was represented by many parts of the 

 skeleton ; some figured by Bunzel as Lacertilian, others as Croco- 

 dilian. It is remarkable for having a buttress supporting the 

 transverse process in the lumbar region. The author calls it Croco- 

 dilus proavus. 



The specimen figured by Bunzel as the ilium of his Danuhiosaurus 

 anceps, was stated by the author to be a costal plate of a large 

 Chelonian, in which, apparently, the margins of these plates 

 remained separate through life. Skull bones, believed to belong to 

 the same animal, are strongly sculptured ; the author named the 

 species Fleuropeltiis lissus. Three or four species of Emydians were 

 said to be indicated by isolated plates, the largest of which was 

 named Emys Neumayri. 



The only specimen referable with certainty to a Lizard is a small
