8. Karoomys browni, Broom. A jaw with a few teeth in 



it, belonging to a very small animal, believed originally 

 to be a mammal, but it is possibly a reptile. 



9. Howesia browni, Broom. A very important Gnathodont, 



allied distantly to the little lizard-shaped Tuatera 

 (Sphenodon or Hatteria), now living on islands off the 

 coast of New Zealand, and generally regarded as the 

 sole survivor of an important group of reptiles of the 

 Permian and Triassic periods. Howesia is also allied 

 to Rhynchosaurus of Owen, from the English Trias. 



10. Trirachodon minor , Broom. A smaller species of 



Trirachodon, represented by a lower jaw. 



1 1 . Sesamodon browni, Broom. A very important new type 



of Bauriamorph, possibly near the early mammalian 

 ancestor. 



12. Melinodon simus, Broom. A smaller Bauriamorph, only 



known by a fragmentary skull. 



13. Thelegnathus browni, Broom. A Procolophonian, closely 



allied to Procolophon, a primitive lizard-like reptile. 



14. Thelegnathus parvus, Broom. Possibly also a Procolo- 



phonian, represented by a fragmentary mandible. 



15. Aelurosuchus browni, Broom. A Bauriamorph, showing 



the first good palate. 



16. Erythrosuchus africanus, Broom. A giant Phytosaur or 



primitive crocodile, the most remarkable ever 

 discovered. 



17. Palacrodon browni, Broom. The jaw of a primitive 



lizard-like Rhynchocephalian. 



18. Batrachosuchus browni, Broom. A fine skull of a new 



type of Labyrinthodont, a division of extinct Amphibia.
