LAND ANIMALS OF THE COAL PERIOD. 3G'J I possess small jaw-bones of Dendrerpeton, about the size of those of this species, but having the teeth similar in form to those of the larger species; these I suppose to have belonged to young individuals. The forms of the jaw-bones and of the vertebrae, ribs, scapular bone, bones of the limbs, and bony scales, indicate that in general form this creature was not far removed from its larger relative. The bones of Fig. 143.—Dcmlrerpctvn Oivoii, )o) Maxillary bone and mandible; natural size. (6) Portion of skull; natural sizn. (c) One of the largo anterior teeth; magnified. (d) Exterior teeth ; magnified. (e) Foot; enlarged. (/) Portion of cuticle showing horny scales; enlarged. iff) Cuticle of posterior part of body; natural size, showing supposed position of hind leg at h. the foot, represented in Fig. 143, especially deserve attention. This is the most perfect foot of Dendrcrpeton hitherto found; and I have enlarged it in the figure in order more distinctly to show its parts. It presents three long toes, with traces of a smaller one at each side, so that there were probably five in all. If these toes be compared with the footprints on the slab discovered by Dr Harding, represented in Fig. 139, it will be seen that they very closely correspond, though.
