56 . ANOMODONTIA. 



47078. Fragment of rock showing most of the bones of a manus or 

 pes of a comparatively small form ; from the Karoo system 

 of the Graaf-Reinet district. Noticed by Owen in his 

 ' Catalogue,' p. 54, no. 91, where it is suggested that it 

 may be the manus. The terminal phalangeals are imper- 

 fect, but the proximal ones are of the massive type charac- 

 teristic of the African and Indian Dicynodonts. 



Presented by R. N. Rubidge, Esq., M.D. 



R. 515. Natural sandstone cast of an imperfect footprint of a larger 

 form ; from the Karoo system of Bouxville, Orange Free 

 State. By exchange with the Blomfontein Museum, 1884. 



36243. The right ilium of a large form ; from the Karoo system 

 (Fig.) near " Tola's Kraal " \ Kaffraria. Figured by Owen in the 

 ' Trans. Geol. Soc' ser. 2, vol. vii. pi. xxiv. figs. 2, 3 (the 

 former figure in conjunction with No. 36244, infra), and 

 provisionally regarded as a scapula of Dicynodon. De- 

 scribed by the same writer in his ' Catalogue,' p. 70, 

 no. 122, as the left ilium of Pariasaurus. Mentioned by 

 Seeley in the ' Phil. Trans.' for 1888, p. 94, where it is 

 shown to be a right ilium probably referable to Dicynodon ; 

 a reversed figure is given on p. 107 of the same memoir, 

 where it is described as the ilium of an Anomodont. The 

 contour of this specimen is almost identical with that of 

 the much smaller ilium represented in woodcut, fig. 3 

 (p. 17). Presented by A. G. Bain, Esq., 1853. 



36245. The right ilium of a rather larger and specifically distinct 

 individual ; from the road to Block Drift, Kaffraria. The 

 supra- acetabular portion is more elevated, and thereby 

 approximates to the ilia described as Platypodosaurvs 

 (p. 63). Presented by A. G. Bain, Esq., 1853. 



R. 1699. The right ilium and sacral ribs of a comparatively small 

 (Pig.) form ; from the Karoo system of the Cape Colony. Figured 

 in woodcut 3 in conjunction with an ischium and pubis. 

 This bone precisely resembles the ilium of the opposite 

 side figured by Huxley in the ' Palseontologia Indica ' 

 (Mem. Geol. Surv. Ind.), ser. 4, vol. i. pt. i. pi. v. fig. 1, 

 and regarded as rather a scapula or coracoid, but referred 

 to its true position by the writer in the ' Rec. Geol. Surv. 

 Ind.' vol. xxiii. pt. i. (see fig. 10). No history.
