Discussion. 



Mr. Hulke said that he had no doubt that the species described 

 by Prof. Seeley belongs to a genus distinct from Hydrosaurus. He 

 compared the former with the Geckos in respect of their having 

 bony scales. 



The Author stated that the distinction of the vertebras had been 

 rendered difficult through chemical action. He doubted as to the 

 existence of scutes in the specimen.
