 Barra do Jardim. Type. 



one-third diameter of eye. Premaxillary 

 with four very large teeth at its tip, these 

 thicker and rather longer than any other 

 teeth in the mouth. Similar teeth at tip 

 of lower jaw, these followed by slenderer 

 teeth ; those in the middle of the jaw also 

 very robust and nearly as large as the 

 front teeth ; posterior part of lower jaw 

 with a row of small compressed teeth, not 

 very dissimilar and not one-third the 

 length of the middle teeth ; about eight 

 of these teeth are evident. Teeth all one- 

 rowed, none of them close-set ; maxillary 

 with a row of 8 or 10 stout, large, equal, 

 sharp-pointed teeth, the anterior teeth 

 most robust, similar to those of the mid- 

 dle of lower jaw ; suborbital region nar- 

 row, the space between the eye and the 

 roots of the maxillary teeth about half 

 diameter of eye. Edge of maxillary 

 straight. The maxillary teeth seem to be 

 equal, not increasing in size backward, 

 as in Elopol^sis fcndi. The lower teeth 



do njot increase in size backward, the large fangs being followed by a 



series of short, compressed teeth.
