of Fort Beaufort. This specimen indicates a somewhat 

 larger individual than the type.

47103. An imperfect cranium probably belonging to a nearly adult 

 individual of this species ; from the Cape Colony. This 

 specimen, which comprises the middle region, apparently 

 accords well in contour with the type. The orbit is dis- 

 tinctly triangular. The narrowness of the parietal bar at 

 once distinguishes this specimen from D. leoniceps.

47056. The anterior extremity of a larger cranium, specifically 

 (Fig.) identical with the preceding specimen ; from the Gat 

 river, Graaf-Reinet district. Noticed by Owen in his 

 ' Catalogue of the Fossil Eeptilia of S. Africa,' p. 47 

 (No. 80), as B. leoniceps ; and the occipital region figured 

 by Seeley in the ' Phil. Trans.' for 1889, pi. x. fig. 3. In 

 profile this specimen differs from the type of that species 

 by the regularly triangular form of the orbit, the shorter 

 and more deflected muzzle, and the more nearly vertical 

 direction of the tusks ; in all of which respects it accords 

 with the type of the present species. There is no reason- 

 able doubt that it really belongs to the latter, and it is 

 certainly specifically distinct from the type of B. leoniceps.

47056*. A mass of rock showing several bones belonging to the 

 (Fig.) same individual as the preceding specimen. Portions of 

 dorsal vertebras, and the ventral aspect of the right scapula 

 and a fragment of the precoracoid are shown. The scapula 

 and precoracoid are figured by Owen in his ' Catalogue/ 

 pi. lxx. fig. 1. In the scapula the acromial process (e of 

 Owen's figure) is separated by a distinct notch from the 

 glenoidal region ; and the preaxial border of the bone has 

 a long emargination, above which there is only a slight 

 torsion towards the dorsal aspect.
