Abstract
The Dicynodont remains hitherto described are nearly all isolated portions of different skeletons, which give no definite idea of the form of body or proportions of the limbs of the animals comprised in the group. The skulls described have been separated from the vertebrae; there has been an absence of matrix to connect either with the limb bones or the shoulder girdle; and, though the pelvis has been found associated with the sacrum, there is no means of judging of its relative size as compared with the head or limbs. Although the Anomodontia are among the most interesting of Reptiles in osteological structure, knowledge of the individual animals is indefinite, and no restoration of the skeleton has been possible.
