Family LOPHIODONTID^E. 



The upper true molars are more complex than the premolars ; the 

 lower molars are bilophodont or subcrescentoid ; m . 3 generally has 

 a third lobe, but it is absent in Hyrachyus. There are usually four 

 digits in the manus and three in the pes ; but in Triplopus (which 

 Cope refers to a distinct family) there are but three in the manus. 



Genus LOPHIODON, Cuvier 1 . 



Dentition : I. |, C. \, Pm. J, M. |. In all specimens that the 

 writer has seen the first premolar is absent ; the lower molars are 

 simply bilophodont.
