served in the Bristol Museum. The skull and left pectoral 

 limb are well preserved; but the vertebral column is 

 broken up. Presented by tlie Council of the Bristol 



Philosophical Institute, 1832. 



2001 *. Slab exhibiting the right lateral aspect of a rather small 

 (Fig.) skeleton; from Lyme-Regis. Figured by Hawkins in his 

 ' Sea Dragons,' pi. vii. The skull is much crushed, and 

 the paddles of the left side are broken up. The length of 

 the rostrum is apparently slightly more than twice the 

 longer diaineter^of the orbit. The pelvic paddle, although 

 narrower than in No. 41849, still has 6 rows of phalan- 

 geals. The pelvic and caudal region is figured by Owen 

 in the ' Trans. Geo!. Soc' ser. 2, vol. v. pi. xlii., in order 

 to show the dislocation of the tail. 



Hawkins Collection. Purchased, 1834.. 



43971. Slab showing the right aspect of the skull of a considerably 

 larger individual, with the first six cervical vertebrae 

 attached ; from Lyme-Begis. The skull agrees closely in 

 character with that of No. 41849 ; the length of the 

 rostrum being nearly three times that of the longer 

 diameter of the orbit. The vertebrae show the character- 

 istic tall neural spines. Purchased, 1872. 



R. 1162. Slab showing the left lateral aspect of a small skeleton ; 

 from Lyme-Regis. On the left side the pelvic paddle is 

 broken up, and on the right both paddles are destroyed, 

 but the remainder of the skeleton is well preserved. The 

 length of the rostrum somewhat exceeds twice that of the 

 orbit. No history. 



R. 311. A nearly entire skull agreeing very closely with No. 43961, 

 (Fig.) but of considerably larger size ; from Lyme-Regis. The 

 entire length of this specimen (which is represented in 

 fig. 21) is 0,834 (32-5 inches); and the length of the 

 rostrum slightly exceeds three times the longer diameter 

 of the orbit. The orbital region is imperfect and crushed, 

 but the rostrum, the whole of the mandible, and the teeth 

 are in excellent preservation. This specimen was col- 

 lected by Miss Anning, and is the one noticed by Owen in 

 the ' Eep. Brit. Assoc/ for 1839, p. 108, as being in the 

 collection of Viscount Cole (subsequently Earl of Ennis-
