Size, 10 X 7. No. 6(5. [1286] Rhamphorhynchus phyllurus, Marsh. Skeleton, on slab (cast). This genus possessed long sharp teeth; large eye or- bits; and the eyes were doubtless well developed. A peculiar feature in this species is the greatly elongated tail, bearing at the termination a vertical tin-like expansion, which is thought to have been used as a rudder in direct- ing the flight of the reptile. This specimen is unique and remarkable in showing very perfectly the wing membrane. It was found in 1873, at Eichstadt, Bavaria, in the Jurassic litho- graphic limestone slates which yielded the Archmojjteryx, and is in the museum of Yale College.
