broken across it ineasares 20 mm. by 15 mm. It has so- far as 

 preserved no indication of serrations. Tlie root is of large size 

 and has very little of a pulp cavity. About 25 mm. behind the 

 canine is a small molar ; it is a simple and apparently unserrated 

 tooth, which measures about 11 mm. Ijy 7 mm. About 5 mm. 

 behind the 1st molar is a second of about equal size. A consider- 

 able part of the crown is preserved. The antero-posterior length 

 at the base is 8.5 mm., and judging by the contour of the sides 

 the crown was proljably about 13 mm. high. There is a slight 

 indication of a posterior ridge on the tooth. The third molar is 

 about 11 mm. behind the second, but is quite small and very 

 imperfectly preserved. The fourth which is 22 mm. behind the 

 second is very similar to the second. Its antero-posterior length 

 is 11 5 mm., and its estimated height 17 mm. Towards the point 

 there is a slight jjosterior ridge, and the base of the tooth is some- 

 what thickened. The fifth tooth is apparently missing. The 

 sixth is, however, well preserved. It is situated 21 mm. behind 

 the fourth and is less curved. Its antero-posterior measurement 

 is about 11 mm. and its height 13 mm. From the base it slopes 

 rapidly to the point, and there is a small ridge along the anterior 

 side of the tooth. The upper half of this ridge, except apparently 

 near the very point, is distinctly but feebly serrated. The eighth 

 molar is shorter and stouter than the seventh and situated only 

 1 mm. from it. Its antero-posterior length is probably about 12 

 mm. and the height about the same. It also shows a small anterior 

 serrated ridge. 



The whole length of the dental series from the canine to the 

 eighth molar is 152 mm., and the greatest length of the maxillary 

 bone as preserved 197 mm. It is unfortunately impossible with 

 the appliances at my disposal to satisfactorily develop the bone 

 and it is very doubtful if much further information would be 

 gained. The palatal portion leads one to believe that the palate 

 was probably of a Bkynchocephalkvn type. If the tooth bearing 

 portion of the maxillary is complete, then it must have been 

 shorter than the upper portion of bone. In any case the animal 

 probably had a fairly long skull.
