Scaloposaurus constrictus, Owen 1 . 



The type and only described species. The smallest representative 

 of the family, being considerably inferior in size to Sphenodon 

 punctatus. 



Bab. South Africa. 



R. 1723. The skull, wanting the extremity of the muzzle; from 

 {Fig.) the Karoo system of the Sneewberg range. The type ; 

 figured by Owen in his ' Catalogue of the Fossil Ueptilia 

 of S. Africa/ pi. xvi. figs. 10-15. The teeth are much 

 damaged, but near the muzzle they can be distinctly seen 

 to be free from anchylosis to the bone, by which this form 

 is at once distinguished from the Procolophonia.

Genus CYNOSUCHUS, Owen 2 . 



Known by the anterior extremity of the skull. Upper incisive 

 teeth apparently 4 in number, and probably without serrations ; 

 upper cheek-teeth 7 or 8 in number, with short thick crowns, in 

 which the posterior edge has a basal tubercle, but no serrations. 

 Mandibular symphysis with a nearly vertical inferior face. Palate 

 apparently very wide, and not suddenly contracted behind the 

 tusk. 



The absence of the internarial septum in the type is probably 

 due to its imperfection. 



Cynosuchus suppostus, Owen 3 . 



The type and only described species. Assuming the type speci- 

 mens to be adult this species will be of the approximate size of 

 JElurosaurus felinus ; upper cheek-teeth seven in number. 



Hob. South Africa. 



R. 1718. The anterior extremity of the skull ; from the Karoo 

 (Fig.) system of the Sneewberg range. The type; figured by 

 Owen in his ' Catalogue of the Fossil Reptilia of S. 

 Africa,' pi. xvi. figs. 1-5. The muzzle of the cranium has 

 been crushed down upon the mandible, and has thus 

 become abnormally widened. The presence of seven 

 upper cheek-teeth is clearly seen on the right side. Two
