    [From the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Vol. 59.] 2b “ Researches on the Structure, Organisation, and Classifica- tion of the Fossil Reptilia. Part X. On the complete Skeleton of an Anomodont Reptile (.Aristodesmus Riitimeyeri, Wiedersheim), from the Bunter Sandstone of Reihen, near Basel, giving new Evidence of the Relation of the Anomo- dontia to the Monotremata.” By H. G. Seeley, F.R.S. Received November 7, 1895. (Abstract.) With the co-operation of the Trustees of the University Museum of Basel and Professor Riitimeyer, the author has examined the fossil described by Dr. Robert Wiedersheim in 187b as Labyrintho- don Riitimeyeri. The bones are differently interpreted : The reputed humerus is the interclavicle. The reputed scapula is the humerus. The reputed supra-scapula is the left coracoid. The reputed supra-scapula is the right scapula. The reputed right and left coracoids are the pre-coracoid and cora- coid of the right side. The reputed clavicles are the ribs. Five digits are identified in place of four in 1878.
