In any case it is very evident that Osteopygis and the follow- ing closely related Propleura are among the most interesting of all known forms on the border line between littoral and marine Chelonians. The 7th cervical is coelo-bicyrtean, the double convexity of the posterior end not being very marked. It is very broad in front, mainly because of heavy somewhat downwa...rdly directed transverse processes, and had a heavy median keel running along its full length. The base of the neural arch is rather slender. Regarding the skull of Osteopygis we are as yet uncertain. It may pi-ove to be like that of the prior genus Eucldstes^ as was thougnt possible by Cope or has since been assumed on ground not known to me. This remains to be carefully proven or disproven. Systematic Position. — The type of the genus Osteopygis is the species O. emarginatus^ and the present species appears to be more nearly related to it than to any of tne several subse- quently described forms.
