are really the anterior portions of the pterygoids, the 

 apparent division between the bars and the body of the 

 pterygoids being due to fracture. The quadrate shows 

 the absence of an antero-posterior perforation.

47098. A small crushed and somewhat imperfect skull, which may 

 (Fig.) apparently belong to a young individual of this species ; 

 from the Beaufort beds near Fort Beaufort. The type of 

 B, recurvidens ; figured by Owen in his ' Catalogue,' 

 pi. lxix. figs. 3, 4. In its wide interorbital bar, long and 

 narrow temporal fossEe, and elongated parietal bar this 

 specimen agrees with D. leoniceps and differs from D. 

 lacerticeps, and if referable to the former indicates its 

 specific distinctness from the latter. The position of the 

 tusk may be accounted for by its having been thrust 

 backwards out of its socket.

Dicynodon feliceps, Owen 1 . 



In the young skull the root of the tusk more nearly vertical than 

 in the type of D. lacerticeps, and the muzzle shorter. In the older 

 skulls probably referable to this species the orbits have a distinctly 

 triangular contour.

47052. The imperfect skull of a young individual ; from the Beaufort 



(Fig.) beds of the Karoo system near Fort Beaufort. The type 



specimen ; figured by Owen in his 'Catalogue of the Fossil 



Reptilia of S. Africa/ pi. xliii. The external surface of 



the bone is lost. Presented by A. G. Bain, Esq., 1853. 



E,. 857. A somewhat smaller imperfect skull; from the Karoo 

 system of the Gouph district, near Beaufort West, south 

 of the Nieuwveldt range. The contour is precisely the 

 same as in the preceding specimen. 



Purchased from T. Bain, Esq., 1880. 



R. 858. The imperfect skull of a still smaller individual ; from the 

 Gouph district. Purchased from T. Bain, Esq., 1880. 



47099. A small imperfect skull probably referable to this form ; 

 from near Fort Beaufort. The tusk is not visible.

 to this species ; from the Graaf-lleinet district, north-west
