figured and described by the last mentioned naturalist in 
the Transactions of the Academy of Munich;—the lower 
jaw and other parts of the cranium, vertebras, &c., of 
the huge reptile (Mososaurus Sancti Petri) from the 
St. Peter’s Mountain near Maestricht, presented, in 
1784, by the celebrated Peter Camper, and figured by 
Cuvier;—a portion of a new species, from Lyme Regis, 
of the remarkable genus of dying reptiles, the Pte- 
rodactylus of Cuvier, described and figured by Buck- 
land in the Transactions of the Geological Society, 
under the name of P. macronyx ; together with a co¬ 
loured cast of the unique P. longirostris of Cuvier from 
Solenhofen, the quarry of which place has also fur¬ 
nished the small lamina of lias on which may be ob¬ 
served the impression, with some of the osseous sub¬ 
stance remaining, of the two last articulations of the 
toe of a flying animal, considered by Spix as related to 
the Vampire, but which is more probably a large and 
distinct species of pterodactyle. 
The order of Enaliosauri is confined to the genera 
Ichthyosaurus and Plesiosaurus , among the exhibited 
specimens of which are : —a very perfect head (formerly 
in the museum of Mr. Bullock) of a pretty large specimen 
of the Ichthyosaurus communis; a full length specimen 
of the same (in a separate glass case): the restored parts 
distinguished by a colour different from that of the genu¬ 
ine portion of the skeleton ; part of the head of another 
of still larger dimensions, cut transversely to show the in¬ 
ternal structure of the jaws; the carpal bones of one of the 
' extremities of a most gigantic species (Ichthyosaurus 
immanis): all from the lias of Lyme Regis;—a new small 
species (Ichthyosaurus latifrons)^ in which the spiracle 
on the top of the head, between the eyes claims par¬ 
ticular attention : this specimen was found at Balderton 
in the county of Nottingham, twelve feet under the 
surface, about three miles and a half south of Newark- 
upon-Trent, near the drain dividing the counties of 
Lincoln and Nottingham, and is presented by Dr. 
Bland.—From nearly the same locality is the speci¬
