Genus MEGALOSAURUS {supra, i. p. 157). Megalosaurus dunkeri {supra, i. p. 163*). This species was founded upon a tooth of comparatively large size presenting the characters noticed in Part I. Referring the undermentioned specimen to this species on account of its relatively large size and its geological horizon, it will be further characterized by its elongated metatarsals, in which the second was much longer than the fourth, both of these bones having their antero-internal borders rounded, while the distal surface of the fourth is com- paratively narrow. The type specimen was obtained from the lower division of the Hastings beds, equivalent either to the Wadhurst Clay or the underlying Ashdown beds. R. 1525. The second left metatarsal; from Hollington quarry, near {Fig.) Hastings ; belonging to the same individual as the fourth metatarsal, No. R. 604 d {supra, i. p. 167).
