The astragalus, also, corresponds closely with that of 'Thecodontosaurus from Bristol. I can see no ground for separating Hortalotarsus from ; While collecting at Foutanie, Fouriesburg,. 0. F. S., Mr. A. Fig. Thecodontosaurus skirtopodus (Seeley). Right ulna. X £. Walker obtained some bones from the top of the Red Beds. They comprise (S. A. M., Cat. No. 3429) some vertebrae, a scapula, the distal end of a humerus, an ulna, an ilium, part of an ischium, a femur and a tibia which belong to an animal somewhat smaller than, but closely comparable with, the type of T. skirtopodus. The bones are in good condition and worthy of a short description, especially as some portions of the skeleton were hitherto unknown. Scapula. The right scapula is almost complete. Its length as preserved is 125 mm., but it lacks the distal end. It is small and slender, the minimum width across the bone being 21 mm. Distally the shaft expands very slightly, but proximally it has a greatest width of 47 mm. The proximal portion is very like that of Massos- pondylus carinatus. On the lateral face the supracoracoidal surface is concave. The whole bone is curved in its length, convex out- 24.
