OBSERVATIONS ON THE FOSSIL REMAINS OF THE HYL/FO- 
SAURUS, AND OTHER SAURIAN REPTILES DISCOVERED IN 
THE STRATA OF TILGATE FOREST, IN SUSSEX. 
[Read by the Author before the Geological Society of London, 
December 5. 1832.*] 
It is my object, in the observations whicli 1 have 
the honour to address to the Society, to give an ac- 
count of the Saurian remains wliich iiave been 
discovered in the strata of Tilgate Forest, since my 
last jniblication on the subject ; and more ]iarti- 
cularly, to describe a considerable portion of a 
skeleton imbedded in a block of indurated sand- 
stone, which has recently been found, and is now, 
with other fossil bones from tlie same deposits, on 
the table of the Society. 
Ten years have elapsed since the first notice of 
the fossil reptiles of Sussex appeared in the Illus- 
trations of the Geology of the South Downs : — 
a paper on the Iguanodon, in the Philosophical 
Transactions for 1825 — the description of a femur 
and some vertebra? of a reptile from the 'Wealden 
beds of the west of Sussex, by Mr. Murchison ; and 
a memoir on the Megalosaurus of Stonesfield, by Dr. 
Buckland, both of which are in the Society’s Trans- 
actions — the important remarks on these remains 
♦ Bv the kind permission of the President, Roderick Impey 
Murchison, Esq. and the Council, this paper was allowed to be 
withdrawn.
