"With numerous specimens of this species before me, I can substantiate 

 the observations of Dr. Leidy that its teeth are generally without lateral 

 denticles, but must add that it occasionally possesses them. They are seen on 

 three individuals, undoubtedly from the greensand No. 4 of New Jersey, 

 which are associated with many others from the same locality without 

 denticles.
