was in its perfect state. The portion /, appears to have been 

 particularly affected by violence. 



The hinder part of the line of teeth seems to be concealed by 

 some fragments of the palate being unnaturally forced down, so 

 that the teeth, which are plainly to be seen on the left side (figi 

 9 to 15), are not visible here. 



i, k. Remains of the right half of the under jaw ;

 corresponding with I, m, in fig. 2.

 right upper jaw, which appear to correspond with those similarly 

 figured on the left side.

 teeth, covered with enamel. To be compared with Camper, 

 a, a, O. Tab. 2, A, C, D, E; Tooth 8 exhibits the preceding

 heads of lizards, and that here extends up the forehead along the

 so that more than the whole of the intermaxillary bone is
