Abstract
(1) THE museum having acquired the unrivalled collection of reptilian remains obtained with much labour and unceasing care by the Messrs. Leeds—more especially Mr. A. N. Leeds—from the brickpits in the Oxford Clay near Peterborough, it was only fitting that they should be described in a manner worthy of their importance and value. So far as the marine forms are concerned, that is to say, the ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and pliosaurs, and crocodiles, the task has been entrusted to Dr. C. W. Andrews, who for several years past has devoted a large portion of his time to the study of these groups. How thoroughly well he has accomplished the work will be apparent to all specialists who study the present volume, which deals with the ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs.
