OX MEGALAXIA AND ITS ALLIES ; 



By C. W. De VIS. 



The systematic place ultimately assigned to this great lizard by its 

 describer is a matter craving reconsideration.* It appears not to 

 have been deduced from the characters of the vertebras on which 

 the genus was established ; it is certainly discredited by remains 

 which prefer a very substantial claim to relationship with them. 

 Originally pronounced by Sir R. Owen to be relics of a lizard closely 

 allied to the Monitors (now termed Varanida?) ; these vertebras were 

 subsequently asoociated with a skull which wa* regarded by him as 

 related to that of Moloch horridus, and were consequently trans- 

 ferred to the Agamida?. It is not necessary to discuss the reasons 



* When this was read. Mr. Woodward's paper on the subject (A. & M. of 

 N. H. Feb. 18SS), had not become known to the wiiter.
