 crushing-teeth of Diadedcs and Pautylus would have made nothing of the 

 shells of the nautiloids and other molluscs.

 are no other forms which approach the proportions and form of the body, 

 limbs, or skull found in forms which spend the major portion of their time 

 in the water seeking a swiftly moving prey. Undoubtedly many of the 

 amphibians and reptiles were accustomed to remain in or near the water, 

 lurking in pools or swamps. The position of the eyes and nostrils, near the
