Some of the above measurements of the teeth are probably somewhat in excess of the 
truth, owing to the presence of a coating of gypsum. 
M. 9264. Plaster cast of the above specimen. Made in the British Museum. 
The following specimens are referred provisionally to this species : — • 
C. 10055. Five caudal vertebrae. In these the epiphyses are fused to the centrum, which measures 
in length 7‘5 cm., in width 7'7 cm., in height 7 cm. The neural arch, enclosing a very 
small neural canal, is situated on the anterior half of the centrum. There are broad 
transverse processes, the bases of which are perforated by a foramen. There seem to 
have been no vascular foramina on the ventral face of the centrum, which bears at its 
hinder end a pair of facets for the chevrons. 
C. 10051. Six associated vertebrae, similar in general form to the last, but belonging to a much smaller 
animal, the length of the centrum in the largest of these specimens being only 
about 5 cm. 
C. 10309. Four posterior lumbar and anterior caudal vertebrae, closely similar to the specimens figured 
by Uames {loc. cit. 1894, pis. xxxv., xxxvi.) and referred by him to Z. osiris. The ends of 
the centrum are slightly concave, the epiphyses being fused. The neural arch has a 
pedicle extending over three-fourths of the length of the centrum. The transverse 
processes are large and directed downwards and backwards ; in the caudal the base of 
the process is perforated. In the lumbars the ventral face of the centrum is concave 
or only very slightly convex from side to side ; in the middle are two large vascular 
foramina separated by a narrow bar of bone ; there is also a foramen (or a pair) in the 
floor of the neural canal. In the caudal vertebra there seem to have been large facets 
for the chevrons. These specimens are from the Birket-el-Quruu beds. The dimensions 
(in centimetres) of the centra of these vertebrm are : —
