,450 Dr. Camper’s Conjectures relative to the 
obfervable, which has been the feat of a new or fecondary 
tooth. 
§ 6. The maxilla inferior of the incognitum, fent by me to 
the Britifh Mufeum, is a molt magnificent fpecimen, having 
fourteen teeth. A fimilar one, fomewhat longer (as it mea- 
fures 3 1 feet) in my own collection, has alfo fourteen. Ano- 
ther fragment of the left fide, two feet long and eight inches 
broad, fhews the primordial and fucceeding teeth in the cleareil 
manner.. 
The fpecimen, of which I fent a drawing (tab, XVI.) to the 
Illuftrious Prefident of our Society, Sir Joseph Banks, is ftili 
.more ufeful to confirm the mode of dentition than any other I 
have in my mufeum. 
§ 7. Several ribs and the phalanges of the toes of the fore- 
feet, a fpecimen of which I fent in a fragment from the fame 
rock, of about a foot long and eight inches broad, may ferve 
as another proof of the difference between thefe and the cro- 
codile’s toes, when compared with the ftili valuable, though 
negleCted, fbeleton in the Britifh Mufeum ; which I am forry 
I could not make a drawing of, having been too much em- 
ployed on other objeCts. 
All thefe charaCteriftic differences cannot fail to convince the 
learned Society of the truth of what I haveafierted, about the 
animal thefe bones belonged to ; for though we cannot deter- 
mine exaCtly the fpecies itfelf, yet I flatter myfelf the preceding 
obfervations evidently prove, that they did not belong to any 
animal of the crocodile kind. 
§ 8. Another very beautiful fpecimen., a foot and a half 
long, and about ten inches broad, I have been induced to add, 
becaufe it contains the anterior part of the fcutum of a very 
large turtle. Of this Mr. John Hunter has an analogous 
bone
