Summary

Previous records are revised, and new identifications of reptiles are presented, based on a study of specimensin older collections. Amphibious marine forms of Alpine Trias and Muschelkalk affinities are recognized from the Midlands, albeit on tantalizingly incomplete material. Such evidence as the reptiles provide indicates an early to mid-Ladinian age for the upper part of the Building Stones, the boundary between Anisian and Ladinian here being taken to lie within the Middle Muschelkalk.
