PARASUCHIA 193 



in habit is attested by their teeth; although they are called "plant 

 saurians," they never had anything to do with plants in the way 

 of food. Unfortunately so far no specimens have ever been found 

 showing the remains of stomach contents, nor have any been found 

 showing impressions of the form of the body or of any of its parts. 

 Until such specimens are found, as they doubtless will be eventually, 

 one can be less sure of the precise details in their life reconstructions. 

 However, the skeleton is now known nearly completely, and this 

 suffices to give a very approximately correct idea of what the ani- 

 mals were like when alive.
