GROUP SEVENTH.

The seventh group contains the impressions of the feet of Saurians or

lizards. We have a specimen of quadrupedal marks, with five toes to

each foot, about an inch long, which may have been made by these

animals. The impressions are small, but very distinct. There are

lizards of the present day with five toes, about the size of these

impressions; and these may, therefore, be set down as belonging to

this order of reptiles. Like a number of the last-named specimens,

they are in red shale.
