fairly well preserved, and both limbs of the right side are 

 nearly entire, but those of the left are broken up. The 

 pectoral limb (fig. 27) agrees exactly with that of No. 

 14553, and also with that of i". zetlandicus, No. 32635, 

 but has lost the terminal bones. The contour of the 

 skull, so far as can be seen, appears to agree with that of 

 the former. The coracoids, moreover, closely resemble 

 those of /. zetlandicus, No. 32669, having the pointed 

 posterior extremity. The entire skeleton agrees precisely 

 with the larger one figured by Seeley in the ' liep. Brit. 

 Assoc' for 1880, pi. i. fig. 3, with the exception that in

 show the curved rostrum characteristic of this species.
