Restoration of skeleton of Amphibamus grandiccps, by R. L. Moodie. (Journal of Geology, vol. 17. ) ANCIENT SALAMANDERS 103 long-limbed lizards ; some have short limbs. Others, like Ptyonius (see Plate VIII. ), were very elongate. The members of the Labyrinthodont order flourished over a large part of the earth's surface, from the time of the co...al-forests to that of the Triassic sandstones. Their remains are found in all the great conti- nents. The late Professor Seeley considered them to have been the ancestors of the crocodiles. Large skulls of Labyrinthodonts, such as Mastodonsaurus and Capitosaurus, have for a long time past been found in the Upper Triassic (Keuper) strata of Germany. They appear to resemble very closely a generalised Anomo- dont (see next Chapter). In the writer's previous work, Creatures of Other Days, p. 70, he reproduced a restoration of the skeleton of Labyrinthodon by Professor Wiedersheim, based on a discovery made in the year 1864 in Eiehen, Switzerland.
