Note 706 — Chapter XVII
Reading edition
We may remark that in the opinion of Dr. Goldfuss and Von Meyer (loc. cit.) the Labyrinthodon and the Archegosaurus are saurian forms connecting the Crocodiles and the Lizards, and representing in the ancient fauna an arrested or "permanent larva-condition of the loricated reptiles, as the sirens do among the recent batrachians." Professor Owen’s estimation of the affinities of these genera is stated above, and in the note at p. 55, Geol. Journ. vol. iv. part ii.
