The figure is reduced to one-sixth, so that the animal must have been rather larger than Dendrerpeton Acadianum, with shorter toes and broader ; Fig. 140.—Footprints of Sauropus Sydnensis {reduced).. These footprints are quite different in form from those previously found by Sir W. E. Logan, Dr Harding, and the writer. They more nearly resemble those figured by Dr King and Mr Lea from the Carboniferous of Pennsylvania; and may have been produced by an animal generically related to that which has left the traces named Sauropus primcevus by the latter author. For this reason, until we shall obtain some knowledge of the animal from more definite remains, I propose for it the name of Sauropus Sydnensis. The specimen was found by Mr Brown in the Coal formation at North Sydney. These footprints add a ninth species to the reptilian fauna of the Coal formation of Nova Scotia, and are the first traces of this kind discovered in the Cape Breton Coal-field. The footprint already mentioned as having been found by Mr Jones of Halifax at Parrsboro', is almost precisely of the same size and form with the preceding, and may possibly have belonged to the same species.
