Eleventh caudal (vert. 37): Similar to Barnegat skeleton, but spine shorter than centrum and not extending beyond it anteriorly or posteriorly. Metapophyses similar, but wider apart.

Twelfth caudal (vert. 38): Neural arch barely complete. No spine.

Thirteenth to nineteenth caudals (vert. 39-45): Similar to those of Barnegat skeleton.

Twentieth caudal (vert. 46): Rudely triangular, with a peg-like posterior projection, bearing the very small posterior epiphysis. No foramina. Anterior epiphysis deeply concave in middle.

Charleston (female, jr.).—First caudal (vert. 28): Similar to last lumbar, but only a faint inferior median ridge. Inferior outline of centrum antero-posteriorly very concave, which is not the case in the Barnegat and Newport skeletons. Posterior chevron processes prominent. Postero-inferior oblique grooves shallow.

Seventh caudal (vert. 34): Like the Newport skeleton. The transverse process not pierced or emarginate. Postero-inferior oblique grooves indistinct. Ridges on centrum very distinct. Right anterior and posterior chevron processes united and pierced by a foramen.

Tenth caudal (vert. 37): Similar to the same vertebra in Newport skeleton, but neural spine very short.
