PTERODACTYLIDJE. 7 



4 Eauna der Yorwelt — Bept. Lith. Schiefer,' pi. iii. fig. 2 ; 

 and also by Zittel, in the ' Palaeontographica/ vol. xxix. 

 pi. xiii. fig. 1. Purchased, 1863. 



37359. Cast of a slab of lithographic limestone, containing the 

 entire skeleton. The history of the original is the same 

 as that of the last specimen ; and it is figured by Meyer, 

 op. cit. pi. i. fig. 2, under the name of P. scolopaciceps, of 

 which it is the type. Purchased, 1863. 



Pterodactylus pulchellus, Meyer l . 



Zittel 2 identifies with this species the somewhat smaller P. 

 elegans, Wagner 3 ; in the type specimen of the present form the 

 length of the cranium is 0,0465 ; the rostrum is as much elongated 

 as in the preceding species ; but the teeth are confined to the ex- 

 tremities of the jaws. In some specimens of the so-called P. elegans 

 the preorbital vacuity is separated from the narial aperture. 



Hab. Europe (Germany). 



42735. A slab of lithographic limestone, containing the impression 

 {Fig.) of the nearly entire skeleton, and a few fragments of bone ; 

 from the Kimeridgian of Eichstadt, Bavaria. Counterfeit 

 of the specimen figured by Meyer in the ' Eauna der Yor- 

 welt — Eept. Lith. Schiefer,' pi. i. fig. 1, under the name of 

 P. longirostris ; but subsequently made the type of the 

 present species (see * Palaeontographica,' vol. x. p. 9). 



Van Breda Collection. Purchased, 1871. 



39351. Partially restored cast of the preceding specimen. 



Purchased, 1865. 



Pterodactylus spectabilis 9 Meyer 4 . 



This is a small species, apparently allied to P. pulchellus, but 

 regarded by its describer as having a larger skull, and different 

 proportions in some of the limb-bones. Its right to specific distinc- 

 tion may be doubtful 5 .
