METALOPHODON, Cope. 



Proceedings American Philosophical Society, 1872, j). 542. (Published September 20.) 



In distinguishing this genus from Batlimddon, I stated that the differ- 

 ences were in the dentition so far as known ; i. e., that the crests of the 

 true molars are not united internally and that the premolars are two (not 

 three) crested. I would now add to the characters, that there are 

 three molars on each side, with transverse crests, which do not unite at 

 the apex, except in the case of the anterior, when they are slightlj^ con- 

 nected. In Bathmodon there is but one such tooth, the posterior. The 

 inner or third crest of the posterior premolar of that genus is only a cin- 

 gulum, and is not probably a generic character. 



Metalophodon aematus. Cope. Loc. cit. 



This species 'is represented by the greater part of the dental series of 

 both jaws, which I took from a decayed cranium myself, and can thus 

 be assured of their mutual relations. One of the true molars, at least, 

 belonged to the milk series, as indicated by the unworn crowns of the 

 successional teeth accompanying. Some of the premolars are but little 

 worn. 



The incisors are well developed, those of the premaxillary subequal in 

 size. The crown has a convex cutting edge and flat inner face. The 

 outer face is convex. In some the inner face is more concave, and is 

 bounded by a cingulum next the root. 



The premolars present a single external crescent of acuminate outline, 

 and a smaller, more transverse one, within. A cingulum bounds the 

 crown fore and aft, but is wanting at both base and apex of the triangu- 

 lar base. In the more posterior the crescent is more open, and the 

 crown less transverse. 



The molars present an increase in transverse extent of the external 

 crescent, and the interior one is wanting. In the posterior two the an-
