GENUS EMYDOPS, Broom. 



EMTDOPS PLATYCEPS, sp. nov. 



This little skull, while representing a new species, is not sufficiently 

 well preserved to enable us to say with perfect certainty that it belongs 

 to the genus Emyclops. It agrees, however, sufficiently closely with 

 the known species of Emydops to admit of its being placed here at 

 least provisionally. 



There is a slender tusk which is directed downwards and forwards, 

 and at least one slender molar tooth. The parietal region is broad and 

 transversely concave. The relations of all the bones in the preparietal 

 region are as in previously known species of Emydops, but the pro- 

 portions differ considerably, as will be seen from the figure given.
