Abstract
A skeletal model of this primitive tetra-pod is described and figured, together with a life restoration. Seymouria is to be considered a reptile rather than an amphibian, for it possesses many positive reptilian characters, while the amphibian structure of its otic region is that to be expected in an ancestral reptile.[long dash]A.
