The nuchal bone is quadrilateral, with the widest side posterior. 

 This side measures 48 mm. in length. The neurals are hexagonal, 

 with the widest end anterior, just as in G. plicatulns, except the eighth 

 neural, which is much longer than in any known specimen of that 

 species. The accompanying table presents the dimensions of the 

 neurals as compared with those of G. plicatulns, as given by Hay in 

 the publication cited above.
