P ARIAS ATTRTD^. 117 



evidence to show whether the terminal faces of the dorsal 

 vertebrae were flattened or cupped. 



Purchased from T. Bain, Esq., 1878. 



49374 a. An imperfect middle caudal vertebra, apparently referable 

 to a species of this genus ; from the Karoo system of the 

 Cape. This specimen can only be distinguished from 

 the middle caudals of the skeleton of P. bombidens by its 

 somewhat superior size. 



Purchased from T. Bain, Esq., 1878. 



Specifically Undetermined Specimens. 

 The following specimens are provisionally referred to Pariasaurus. 



36248. The proximal extremity of a left humerus ; from the Karoo 

 system of the Brak river, near Port Beaufort. This spe- 

 cimen is of the same type as the one mentioned below 

 (p. 119) under the name of Proipajypus, but is of larger 

 size, and is therefore provisionally referred to the present 

 genus. The upper extremity of the delto-pectoral crest is 

 shown, and the postaxial border is entire.

36247. A specimen which is apparently the imperfect distal ex- 

 (Fig.) tremity of a left femur, probably referable to this or an 

 allied form ; from the Brak river. Figured by Owen in 

 the ' Trans. Geol. Soc' ser. 2, vol. vii. pi. xxxiv. fig. 4, 

 where it is suggested that it may be either a humerus or 

 a femur ; and noticed in his ' Catalogue of the Fossil 

 Eeptilia of South Africa,' p. 57, no. 96, where it is re- 

 garded as the distal extremity of the left humerus of 

 Udenodon. The specimen is certainly not Dicynodont, 

 and from its aberrant type probably belongs to the present 

 group ; it agrees fairly in size with the proximal half of 

 the femur, and may have been associated with No. 36248. 

 The inner condyle is much larger than the outer, thus 

 presenting a marked resemblance to the femur of Echidna.

36251. The imperfect pelvic and sacral region ; from the Karoo 



(Fiy.) system of the Brak river. Figured by Owen in the ' Phil. 



Trans.' for 1S62, pis. xxiii., xxiv., and also in his 'Catalogue
