Extract

The two admirable summaries of our knowledge of fossil Crocodilia recently published by Mr. A. Smith Woodward—the one relating to British forms, in this Magazine, and the other, comprising the whole order, in the “Proceedings of the Geologists' Association”—render it a comparatively easy matter to find out what is known concerning any particular species or genus; and I may accordingly at once proceed to the proper subject of this paper.

page 310 note 7 M. Dollo's statement was probably derived from Sir R. Owen's figures, but fig.24 shows most clearly the vertical bar occurring in the middle of this vacuity; the rims of the parieto-frontal and quadrato-jugal regions having been broken away.
