The lower jaw is a little like that of the Crocodile but has no lateral 
opening and the angular and splenial bones are much more developed. The 
lower jaw and the palate are rather better preserved in a third skull which 
I found at New Bethesda two and a half years ago, and which will be 
described in greater detail elsewhere from this third specimen. 
There are quite a large number of vertebrae, but only .a few series of 
three or four, and these are mostly imperfect. All the vertebrae are com- 
pletely notochordal. In general appearance so far as can be seen they are 
lizard-like, but all the dorsal vertebrae at least have large well ossified 
intercentra. The caudals are remarkable in being much elongated and 
without chevrons.

A. Pectoral region showing sternal plates {R.St. and L.St.), both humeri {R.H. 
and L.H.) and imperfect right coracoid [R.Co). 
B. Imperfect left pubis. 
C. Left hind foot showing the plantar aspect: T, Tibia; Fi, Fibula; t, tibiale; 
/, fibulare; i, intermedium; 4 and 5, tarsalia. 
D. Imperfect right hind limb, showing the dorsal aspect: F, Femur; Fi, Fibula; 
T, Tibia; t, tibiale; i, 2, 3, 4, tarsalia; IV, 4th metatarsal. 
The shoulder girdle is badly preserved, but is of the Sphenodon type. 
The coracoid is relatively smaller and the scapula more rod-like than in 
the living Diapsid. Nothing of any importance remains of the clavicles 
and interclavicle, but there is clear evidence of two large flat bones in the 
pectoral region. These are pretty manifestly sternal ossifications. 
The humerus is well preserved. The head is small and there is a fairly 
well developed delto-pectoral crest. The distal end is wide. There is an 
entepicondylon foramen. The radius and ulna are imperfectly preserved. 
Nothing is seen of the carpus, but the digits are seen to be long and slender. 
Of the pelvis only a badly preserved pubis remains and a few un- 
important fragments of the other bones. The pubis, as will be seen from
