I.—A Retrospect of Palaeontology in the Last Forty Years

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Reptilia et Aves.—Our two greatest Anatomists of the past century, Owen and Huxley, both contributed to this section of our palaelig;ozoological record. Owen (in 1865) described some remains of a small air-breathing vertebrate, Anthrakerpeton crassosteum, from the Coal-shales of Glamorganshire, corresponding with those described by Dawson from the Coal-measures of Nova Scotia; and in 1870 he noticed some remains of Plesiosaurus Hoodii (Owen) from New Zealand, possibly of Triaasic age.
