Entopttchus planifrons, sp. nov. 



A larger species than the E. cavifrons, represented in my collection by 

 parts of crania, and rami. The former show that besides the superior size, 

 this species differs from the E. cavifrons in the absence of the superciliary 

 ridges, and hence perfect flatness of the interorbital region. The latter is 

 also wider, measuring five-sixths the width of the muzzle at its middle, 

 while in the E. cavifrons it is only half as wide. The subjoined measure- 

 ments give the characters in detail.

Entopttchus crassiramis, sp. nov. 



This, the largest species of the genus, appears to have been less abundant 

 than the two already described. I refer to it portions of two crania and 

 three mandibular rami, found separately. The superior size of the parts is 

 obvious, the posterior three superior molars having the same longitudinal 

 extent as the entire series of the E. cavifrons. The gradation in the size 

 of these teeth, is as in that species, the grinding surfaces diminishing 

 rapidly in extent posteriorly. The superciliary ridges are not well pre- 

 served, but were probably thickened as in E. cavifrons, and the interor- 

 bital space was relatively as narrow, and not so wide as in E.planifrons. 

 The measurements below exhibit the characters more exactly.

In the mandibular rami the inferior masseteric ridge extends to below 

 the anterior border of the first molar, and is very prominent and acute. 

 It results that both the exterior and inferior aspects of the ramus are con-
