Chirosaurus stortonensis (Morton 1 ). 

 Syn. Chirotherium stortonense, Morton 2 . 



The impressions of the pes of this form differ from those of C. barthi 

 in being stouter and shorter, with the digits less widely separated 

 and the first digit placed nearer to the heel. Their usual length is 

 about 8*7 inches : and they approximate in form to the much larger 

 impressions from the Keuper of Torperley (Cheshire) described by 

 Egerton 3 as Chirosaurus (Chirotherium) her cults. The latter im- 

 pressions measure upwards of 15 inches in length, and were pro- 

 bably made by an animal of the size of Mastodonsaurus giganteus.
