1* or the materials of the former Paper I was indebted to Mr. 
Bullock, who has in his possession the skull, a great number 
of the vertebras, many mutilated ribs, and other bones of this 
animal, in a fossil state. 
These now brought forward are in the collections of the 
Rev. Mr. Buckland, of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and 
of Mr. Johnson of Bristol, who have very kindly allowed me 
to make use of them upon this occasion. Mr. Johnson has 
been a collector of specimens of fossil remains for ©5 years; 
during several summers, he devoted five or six weeks at a 
time to a close inspection of the cliffs and beach at Lyme. In 
the summer of 1814, with the assistance of a friend, at great 
personal risk, he dug out of the cliff, the bones of the pectoral 
fin; the single bone, he states, was immediately connected 
with the scapula, and was imbedded in marie ; a representa- 
tion is annexed. 
From these valuable specimens I am enabled, in a great 
measure, to complete the account of the skeleton of this very 
extraordinary animal, and, what is of infinitely more conse- 
quence, to determine the class to which it belongs.
