I insert this merely to say that I introduced some of these pretty little Toads 
— procured from Southport by Mr. G. H. Storer — about the Museum grounds, lest, 
in the event of any surviving, they should be rediscovered and claimed as local.

Order LABYEINTHODONTIA.^ 
Amongst the many fragments of reptilian bones discovered by Mr. Harrison 
in the Rhaetic bone-beds of the Spinney Hills was one, hitherto unreferred, which 
I submitted to Mr. Lydekker, and which that gentleman pronounces to be 
“ probably a piece of Labyrinthodont jaw.” Professor F. W. Rudler, F.G.S., kindly 
informs me that the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, London, 
possesses Labyrinthodont remains from the Rhaetics of Wigston. 
* In the ‘ Memoirs of the Geological Survey ’ (Geology of the Leicestershire Coal-Field, 
etc.) by Ed. Hull, B.A., F.G.S., 1860, it is recorded that Mr. Huish of Castle Donington had 
found footprints of Labyriiithodon (sp. inc.) in the Keuper sandstone at Weston Cliff, which is 
just over the Trent on the Nottinghamshire side.
