margin of the centrum which is cut out below it for the intercentrum. 

 The sacrum is rather robust. Its two vertebrae are not coossified, and 

 support well developed neural spines, and a large free diapophysis for the 

 ilium. The centra of the caudals, and their cliapophyses and neural 

 spines are well developed. There is a fossa at the base of the spine on 

 each side, in line with the zygapophysial surfaces, equidistant between 

 them. 



The fragment of ilium is of appropriate size, and is quite robust. It 

 displays the fossa for the sacral diapophysis, and the acetabulum. Tbe 

 latter is remarkable for the prominence of the tuberosity on the superior 

 border, which exceeds that of any species of Pelycosaurian known to me. 

 The section of the ilium through it is triangular. 



The dentary bone is accompanied by the splenial to the middle of the 

 symphysis. The latter is not very long. Its dentary portion turns up- 

 wards. The ramus is quite robust, differing much from that of the 0. 

 leptocephalus. It is broken off a little anterior to the tooth line, but the 

 latter probably did not contain more than twenty-two teeth. These have 

 anterior and posterior cutting edges, and are denticulate. The external face 

 of the dentary is excavated by shallow, undulating, branching grooves.
