the nostrils were somewhat laterally placed and separate as in the 

 Pseudosuchia. It demands an additional length of about 5 mm. to 

 the tip of the snout, thus making the upper and lower jaws more 

 commensurate than does the earlier restoration. 



The snout is fairly long, and tapers slightly anteriorly. Most of 

 its upper surface is formed by the nasals, which are separated by 

 a long median suture, and terminate behind in a digitating suture 

 with the frontals. 



The maxilla bears a number of teeth, about 8 or 9 in all probability. 

 The first two preserved on the right maxilla are large teeth with long- 

 roots each set in its own socket, and with backwardly-curved pointed 

 crowns somewhat oval in section. There were no prominent anterior 

 or posterior edges. The posterior teeth were smaller than the others, 

 but there is no regular diminution in size. 



The snout is broken off anterior to the orbits, and the whole of 

 the orbital region is missing. Just anterior to the hiatus the snout 

 swells laterally and becomes raised on the two sides, the median 

 depression remaining constant. The lateral prominences look to be 

 each the impression of a separate bone, although sutures are extremely 

 difficult to delineate. Each contains a portion of the bone figured by 

 Itioom as lachrymal, and each is probably wholly a prefrontal. If 

 this be so, the lachrymal was wholly on the side of the skull. 



Only the impressions of the lower surface of the bones surroun- 

 ding the vacuity are present. 



The upper temporal vacuities are present. Their anterior borders 

 are formed by the postorbitals. Broom figures the squamosal as 

 forming the whole of the bar between the upper and lower temporal 

 fossae: but on the right hand side there is a well-marked separation 

 between the bone forming the inner part and that forming the outer 

 part of this bar, and the separation is seen also in part on the left 

 hand side of the skull. The inner of the bones I take to be the 

 upper portion of the quadrate, which just meets the postorbital 

 anteriorly, and has the relations of the quadrate in the recent Croco- 

 dilia. Externally and posteriorly it articulates with the squamosal. 



The squamosal also passes outwards, backwards, and downwards 

 to form the posterior border of the low^er temporal vacuity and to. 

 meet the quadrate. On the inner side it meets the supraoccipital 

 and exoccipital. 



The parietal bar is very broad. 



The quadrate is partially displayed. The form of its articular 

 surface is not seen. The inner edge of the bone is bent upwards 

 to meet the squamosal ; and its other relations have been stated above.
