Mr. M. C. Marcli on the

 therefore it might he called the Dysodonta. 



The second order Bernard called Heterodonta. Its two

cardinal 2 is undivided. In the other type cardinal 1 is 

 present and cardinal 2 is divided. These two suborders 

 might perhaps be called Pliodonta and Oligodonta (figs. 8 

 &9)j in reference to their diagnostic characters. The former 

 suborder is again divided into four classes : — 



1. Containing those forms which are typical of the sub- 



order (figs. 10& 11). 



2. Containing those forms in which CA I is either quite 



undeveloped or not strongly developed (fig. 12). 



3. Containing those forms in which the ligament is either 



entirely or nearly internal and where CA 1 is un- 

 developed (figs. 13 & 14). 



4. Containing Chama and its allies (fig. 15).
