Abstract
THE locality where the Plesiosaurus, which forms the subject of the present brief notice, was obtained is already famous for its richness in such remains. In fact, the limestone beds of the Lower Lias at Street have already yielded at least three species of Plesiosaurus-P. Hawkinsii, P. macrocephalus, and P. megacephalus; and it seemed so unlikely that a fourth species should have inhabited the same area, that I was for a long while unwilling to admit the distinctness of the form at present under consideration.
