Fossil Saurian Reptiles
Fossil Saurian Reptiles.
Many remains of fossil reptiles have been discovered in Australia during the last ten or fifteen years. Teeth of great Crocodiles were first obtained by the late Mr. Stutchbury, on the Darling Downs. The almost complete skeleton of another large Saurian (a Plesiosaurus, if we remember correctly), was found farther north, and the caves of Wellington yielded bones of the smaller species of the genus Hydrosaurus, Cyclodus, Trachydosaurus, Tropidolepisma, and Grammatophora. All these remains were however fragmentary, and have not yet been fully described.
