60 A REVISION OF THE COTYLOSAURIA OF NORTH AMERICA 



the buccal regions. On the anterior part of the mandible the fossae are distinct; on 

 the median and posterior part the ridges become linear. A narrow triangular space 

 on the external side posteriorly, with its long apex on the inferior margin, is smooth. 

 "There are two subequal obtuse teeth, on the border of each premaxillary 

 bone. I can not count the number on the maxillary, but there are four anterior to 

 the line of the anterior border of the orbit. Of these the next to the anterior one 

 is larger than the rest, though of the same shortly conic, obtuse form. These 

 teeth are rather large for the size of the skull. At a point near the middle of the 

 ramus of the mandible, where it is broken off, there may be counted five teeth in a 

 transverse series. Of these the second from the external border is the largest, and 

 has a regularly rounded crown. Six teeth may be counted on a transverse fracture 

 of the palatine bone. Of these the four external have obtusely rounded crowns, 

 and the third from the external border is the largest. The crowns of all the teeth 

 are hollow.

 are robust and somewhat swollen at the middle, and with a I /v

 the other is smaller. The crowns have the same form as those of the maxillary series. 



"This species is of about the dimensions of the P. cordatus, but the palatine teeth 

 are less closely placed. The inequality in size of the maxillary teeth characteristic 

 of the P. cordatus is not seen in the P. coicodus, and the form of the crown in the 

 two species is distinct. Those of the P. cordatus are obtuse, and without the little 

 apex of the new species. In the latter the dental crowns have nearly the form of 

 the seeds of grass, Coix lachryma. 



"Accompanying the specimen above described is a fragment of apparently a 

 dentary bone, which supports eight teeth and parts of teeth. The crowns stand
