 This is a beautiful specimen, with a continuous transverse heel in 

 front ; 8 plates remaining ; the points are very numerous ; no mesial 

 division. The tooth is convex across (See note to Plate XXIV. A., 1.)

Plate XXIX. A. 



Figs. 1 and 1 a. — E. bombifrons. A mutilated lower jaw, short 

 and thick in its build, with what is probably the third milk molar, 

 and having the first true molar appearing in germ behind. The 

 milk molar shows 6 ridges and a heel. Baker's collection. — B.M.
