under the above name from Cuddie Springs, Co. Clyde, New South Wales. These were 
compared with the living Australian Lizard, Varanus (Hydrosaurus) ffigas. Mr. C. W. 
De Vis has since hypothetically referred to Notiosaurus a left humerus and scapula, 
representing a reptile with a “ probable length of fifteen feet,” and a tooth. The latter 
resembles in outline that of Hydrosaurus, but is proportionately thicker. 
The tooth is from Darling Downs, but the localities of the bones are not stated ; 
but it is quite clear they were obtained at widely separated places, for Mr. De Vis says, 
speaking of the scapula — “ which, from wide difference of locality, could not have 
belonged to the same individual as the humerus.” 
Although the bones described by Mr, De Vis may represent a large Lacertilian, 
related to Hydrosaurus or Monitor ( = Varanus), to place them definitely with the species 
W. dentatus is perhaps a little premature. It would have been better to have referred 
these bones to a distinct genus. 
Loc. and Horizon. The tooth at Clifton, Darling Downs (O'. W. He Vis — Colin.

Chinchilla — Pluviatile deposits.

Obs. The British Museum Collection contains portions of the right maxilla, 
teeth, dermal scutes, and caudal vertebrm, which Mr. E Lydekker refers to this species. 
Teeth were found by the late Mr. E. Daintree in the Diprotodon-breccias of 
Northern Queensland, and called by him Grocodilus australis, but in all probability 
they were those of O. porosus, mentioned in the British Museum Catalogue as presented 
by “ Sir” E. Daintree.* Mr. Daintree remarked that the Crocodile had, during the 
Quaternary Period, a greater inland range than it has now.

Ohs. Speaking of the occasional occurrence of Crocodilian fragments in the 
Queensland drifts, Mr. De Vis says ; — “ Eeceutly, however, more instructive cranial and 
mandibular fossils have been met with, and it may now be no longer premature to invite 
* Strange to say, the late Mr. Richard Daintree, C.M.G., &c., is frequently spoken of by Mr, 
Lydekker as “Sir R. Daintree.” The same mistake is committed by Mr. R. A. F. Murray, in his 
“ Geology and Physical Geography of Victoria.” (8vo. Melbourne, 1887.)
