120 ANOMODONTIA. 



Catalogue of the Fossil E-eptilia of S. Africa/ pi. xxviii., 

 and referred to Licynodon leoniceps. A small figure is 

 also given by Seeley in the ' Phil. Trans.' for 1888, p. 103, 

 where this reference is provisionally accepted. This 

 specimen (fig. 26) differs totally from the innominates of 

 Dicynodonts (as shown by specimens both from Africa and 

 India), and agrees so closely with that of Pariasaurus (as 

 pointed out by Seeley), that there can be but little hesi- 

 tation in referring it to the same group. This is confirmed

(?) Propappns omocratus. — Reversed views of the anterior and outer aspects of 

 the left innominate ; from the Karoo system of the Cape Colony. About f. 

 il, ilium ; pb, pubis ; is, ischium ; fo, pubic foramen. 



by its marked resemblance to the innominate of the Laby- 

 rinthodont genus Eryops figured by Cope in the * Amer. 

 Nat/ vol. xviii. pi. iii. (1884). The ischiopubic portion 

 differs widely from that of the Dicynodontia (fig. 3), the 

 -postacetabular free border of the ischium being very short 

 and more nearly horizontal. The foramen in the pubis 

 differs totally in position from the obturator foramen of 

 the Dicynodontia, piercing the bone in an oblique direction, 

 and evidently corresponding to the pubic foramen of the 

 Labyrinthodont pelvis. The thickened everted preaxial 

 border of the pubis has a roughened surface suggestive of 

 the articulation of an epipubic bone.
