HODOBJENUS—HOMALODON. 399 
Hodobzenus—Continued. 
**Tt might be best to take this name [ Odobwnus] as it is, although its meaning is 
not quite clear. The derivation is not given; but it may be from ó3ovz, 03 óv- 
ros, tooth, in which case the name should read Odontobenus, as proposed by 
Steenstrup, i. e. walking with the assistance of the teeth, which here seems to 
be correct; or from 660s, way, in which case it ought to read Hodobenus (a sea 
animal which can also walk on a path); or from odds, field, earth, in which 
case it should be written Udob:wnus." (SuNDEVALL. )
