98 CROCODILIA. 



32643, 4, 5, 9. Crowns of teeth, probably belonging to the present 

 species ; from Vaches-Noires. Tesson Collection. 



Metriorhynchus elegans (Wagner *). 



Syn. iSteneosaurus elegans, Wagner 2 . 

 Cricosaurus elegans, Wagner 3 . 



If the type specimen be adult, this form is distinguished by its 

 comparatively small size, the length of the cranium being about 

 0,250 ; the details of cranial structure are unknown. 



Hah. Europe (Germany). 



43005. A split slab of lithographic limestone containing the skull 

 and part of the vertebral column in a crushed condition ; 

 from the Kimeridgian (Upper Jurassic) of Eichstadt, 

 Bavaria. The skull agrees exactly in size with the type 

 specimen figured by Wagner in the 'Abh. k.-bay. Ak. 

 Wiss.' vol. viii. pi. xiv. 



Van Breda Collection. Purchased, 1871. 



37006. A slab of limestone containing the anterior portion of a 

 skull, not improbably belonging to an immature indi- 

 vidual of this species ; from the Kimeridgian of Solen- 

 hofen, Bavaria. Purchased, 1862. 



Metriorhynchus (?), sp. 



The following form (Crocodilamius of Jourdan, MS.) was pro- 

 visionally identified by Deslongchamps 4 with Molodon, but the 

 ventral scutes are pitted and the teeth are subequal, so that there 

 seems no reason for separating it from the present genus, although 

 the upper surface of the cranium is not shown. 



Hab. Europe (France). 



40344. Cast of a slab of limestone exhibiting the ventral aspect of 

 the nearly entire endo- and exo-skeleton, probably of a 

 young individual. The original was obtained from the 

 Kimeridgian (Upper Jurassic) of Cirin (Aix), France, and 

 is believed to be in the Museum at Lyons. The man- 

 dibular symphysis has been separated ; the scales of the 

 ventral buckler are arranged in eight rows, and are 

 strongly pitted, with slight carina}. Purchased, 1867.
