b) Description. 
Before setting forth the results of my immediate observations con¬ 
cerning the Hungarian material here described, a brief allusion must be 
made with regard to the Pikermi remains dealt with by Gaudry (op. cit.) 
and Weithofer (op. cit.) in their above mentioned publications. The 
vertebra figured by Gaudry agrees so closely with the Csarnóta-fragment

Fig. 7. t Varanus marathonensis YVeith. Dorsal vertebra from ventral and lateral 
aspect. — Nat. size. — Authois pend rawing after Mr. Formant’s original figure in 
Gaudry, Anim. foss. ef Géol. de 1’At ti que, Atlas, PI. LX, Figs. 3 & 4. 
as not to require any special notice in this place, I thus simply refer to 
Textfig. 7 as to the reproduction of the excellent Preneh zoologist’s original 
drawing. The cranial fragments of Weithofer’s type-specimen deserve 
however special attention* a part of them as yet being the unique frag¬ 
ments of their kind. 
A) Skull. 
1. Maxillary. 
(Textfig. 8 b & Pl. II, Fig.l) 
The Csarnóta-fragment obtained by Hr. Kormos, though considerably 
robuster, seems to have many structural affinities to the corresponding part 
of the maxillary of Varayius griseus Haud. (Pl. II, Pig. 2.) It is somewhat 
difficult to make out the morphologic characters in Mr. Weithofer’s figure : 
he supposes the Pikermi maxillary to be different in some points from the 
maxillaries of recent Monitors; according to him 1 «. .. ist der ganze 
Knochen etwas kürzer und gedrungener, dann besitzt er als obere Begren¬ 
zung nicht eine mehr oder weniger scharfe Kante, sondern ist hier breit,.
