  Means 
  of 
  estimating' 
  the 
  total 
  length 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  are 
  not 
  very 
  complete. 
  Its 
  not 
  remote 
  affinity 
  to 
  Compsog- 
  

   nathus 
  suggests 
  that 
  the 
  neck 
  could 
  not 
  have 
  been 
  short, 
  though 
  the 
  generally 
  more 
  robust 
  proportions 
  than 
  in 
  C. 
  

   lono-ipes, 
  would 
  point 
  to 
  a 
  shorter 
  cervical 
  series 
  than 
  in 
  that 
  genus. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  safe 
  to 
  put 
  the 
  length 
  at 
  between 
  four 
  

   and 
  five 
  feet. 
  

  

  The 
  remains 
  here 
  described 
  were 
  alluded 
  to 
  by 
  Prof. 
  R. 
  Owen, 
  as 
  those 
  of 
  a 
  Saurian 
  

   pointing 
  to 
  the 
  Pterodactyles 
  or 
  Birds, 
  providing 
  the 
  cavities 
  of
