That the creature had stout ribs is shown by some fragments of these bones, but the vertebra? arc represented only by a few bodies of small relative size and perhaps caudal. On the same surface were found the bones of a foot. It is of small size relatively to the head, and was probably for swimming nather than walking. A few ovate bony scales were found with the bones, and probably belonged to this species. On the whole, it seems certain that lltjlerpcton must have been gencrically distinct from the other reptiles found with it, and it is probable that it was of more aquatic habits, swimming ratlier than walking, and feeding prmcipally on fish. More perfect specimens would, however, be required in order to warrant any decided statement on these subjects. It is possible, as suggested by Prof. Owen, that the affinities of the animal may be with Arclirgosaurus rather than with any of the other coal reptiles; but I confess that my present impression is, that it tends rather toward the genus Ilylonomus. It may possibly be a link of connexion between the Microsauria and the Ardiegusauria. Eosaurus Acadiamis, Marsli. Fig. 148.âEosanrua Acadiamis, Slarsh.
