Extract

Since the original description of Ceraterpeton by Huxley thirty years ago, several specimens have been referred to this interesting Stegocephalan genus, one even to the typical species, C. Galvani. No new examples from the typical locality, however, have hitherto been described, and our knowledge of the Irish form has thus remained without extension. Now, a nearly complete new skeleton has been discovered at Castlecomer, by J. G. Robertson, Esq., of Dublin, and I am indebted to him and to Professor Grenville Cole for the opportunity of studying it, and adding somewhat to the known characters of the animal.
