Obs. This sub-genus is very peculiar for its two leaves, 

 from whence its name. Dr. Spix describes the cheek-teeth 

 eight above, and eight below, but he does not state whether 

 he means eight or four on each side ; in some places, where 

 he describes them in the same way, he evidently means 

 the former, as his context illustrates, and in others, the 

 latter.

 intermediate the largest; canine teeth W\ cheek-teeth |4, the 

 two first, in the upper jaw, distant, the rest tuberculated on
