Extract

The Rev. Richard Baron, F.G.S., of the London Missionary Society, has sent to the British Museum some interesting reptilian remains from the Jurassic rocks of Madagascar, which he obtained during 1891, at Andranosamonta village, a locality situated in the north-western part of the Island. They were enclosed in a tenacious slielly limestone, so that before their examination could be proceeded with it was necessary to submit them to careful development and cleaning, a work whioh has been most ably carried out by Mr. Richard Hall, the Assistant Formatore of the Geological Department.
