PABIASA.TJEIDJE. 113 



This genus is provisionally included in the Pariasauridce, being 

 apparently closely allied to the type genus. The teeth present a 

 marked resemblance to those of the Dinosaurian family Stego- 

 sauridce \ but there is no doubt that the present form is a true 

 Anomodont. 



Anthodon serrarius, Owen 2 . 

 The type species. Approximately half the dimensions of Paria- 

 saurus bombidens. 

 Hah. South Africa. 



47337. The imperfect skull ; from the Karoo system near Sty 1-Krantz, 

 {Fig.) Sneewberg range 3 . The type; figured by Owen in his 

 ' Catalogue of the Fossil Eeptilia of S. Africa,' pi. xiii. 

 fig. 1. The muzzle is wanting, and posteriorly the speci- 

 men is broken off through the line of the parietal foramen, 

 and thence to the quadrate. The outer surface of the 

 bones of the skull is mostly chipped away, but traces of 

 sculpture apparently remain in the middle line. The 

 postorbital flange is distinctly seen in the quadratic region. 

 The teeth are mostly shown in section. In the description 

 in Owen's ' Catalogue ' the locality is incorrectly given.

47337 a. Portion of the dorsal region of the vertebral column, 

 (Fig.) associated with the preceding. This specimen, which 

 contains three imperfect vertebrae, and has been vertically 

 and longitudinally bisected, is described by Owen, op. cit. 

 p. 71, no. 323, with a representation of a section of one 

 of the vertebrae in pi. lxx. fig. 2. The vertebrae approxi- 

 mate very closely in structure to those of Pariasaurus, 

 having similar widely extended and horizontal zygapo- 

 physes, and apparently extremely short neural spines. 

 The transverse process occupies a similar position between 

 the zygapophyses, and the rib-facets were more or less 

 pedunculated. The width between the outer extremities 

 of the postzygapophyses is 0,067 (2'63 inches), and the 

 length from the posterior extremity of the zygapophysis

3 It is uncertain whether the beds from which this specimen was obtained 

 are the Beaufort or Stormberg beds ; see Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxiii. 

 p. 143, where this species is described as "having the characters of the Blink- 

 water Monster."
