The accounts of fossil reptiles in terrestrial accumulations are very indefinite.
Belænæ and mondontes occur in the Forth valley. A variety of land and freshwater mollusca and conchifera,
all of existing species, lie in the breccias of Nice, the caves of Bize, Pondres, Villefranche Lauraguais, and in
the ossiferous marks and gravel beds of Yorkshire.
