THECOSPONDTLTJS DAVIESI. 87 



DlSCFSSION. 



The President congratulated the Author on the opportunity 

 afforded him for paying a tribute to that excellent palaeontologist 

 Mr. William Davies, which he cordially endorsed. 



Mr. HuLKE would not enter into the question of classification. 

 He had great hesitation in accepting the Author's identification with 

 Thecospondylus. It was difficult to institute a comparison between 

 a structure such as the fossil under description and one which has 

 no structure. Then there was the great difference in size. On the 

 whole the resemblance of the fossil to Coelurus was so close that he 

 was inclined to refer it to that genus.
