TitlePaper, 'Further observations on the shoulder girdle and clavicular arch in the Ichthyosauria and Sauropterygia' by Harry Govier Seeley
Date1893
DescriptionSeeley writes: 'On January 18, 1892, I communicated to the Royal Society observations on the nature of the shoulder girdle and clavicular arch in Sauropterygia, which were read on February 18, and published in the Proceedings on June 25, 1892 [see PP/19/11]. These studies had grown out of the examination of new remains of Anomodont Reptiles, which I obtained in South Africa; and were the result of an endeavour to gain a knowledge of structures in which the shoulder girdle in extinct Reptilia admitted of detailed comparison with those materials. I had made examination of the same region of the skeleton in Plesiosaurs and Ichthyosaurs, and communicated the results to the Geological Society, which were published in the Journal of that Society in November and December, 1874.'
