OaiCAL MAGAZINE. NEW SERIES. DECADE IV. VOL. V. No. I. JANUARY, 1898. OiaiC3-II sr.A.X jJL iaTICI jIES. -O nlarge Tereestrial Saurians from theE htio Beds OF Wedmore Hill, described as A valoniaS anfordi and PicnoDOJ sr Herveyi. By H. G. Seeley, F.R.S., Professor of Geology inK ings College, London. (PLATE I.) N1894 Mr. W. A. Sanford described, in the Proceedings of theS omerset A rchgeological Society (vol. xl, 1894, p. 234), the geological circumstances of the discovery of a large fossil reptile. The fossil bones were found by theE ev. Sydenham H. A. Hervey and himself in theE haetic beds in the parish of Wedmore, in the Vale of Glastonbury; and compared toM egalosaurus in its large size and carnivorous character. The remains were generously presented to theB ritish Museum (N atural History) atS outli Kensington. I have now to redeem a promise made by Mr. Sanford in his paper that I would name and describe the specimens. The fossils comprise teeth, bones of the hind limb, dbrsal and caudal vertebra, and ribs. The discoverer remarks upon the way in which the bones appear to have been broken, crushed out of form, and scattered in the deposit. These results are partly due to transport of the specimens at the time of deposition; and partly, apparently, to movements of the strata associated with the uplifting of the rocks in that part of England. Only two teeth were saved ;they indicate two distinct genera. One tooth (p. 2, Fig. 1) is of a generalized Megalosaurian type, and has the summit of the crown greatly worn with use, and rounded. The crown is broad and thick, 12 mm. wide and 7mm. in thickness; but towards the base of the crown, the width from front to back increases faster than its thickness. The anterior margin is rounded from side to side, as well as convex from above downward. If any serrations were ever developed, they were in the proximal part, whi
