 Genus 2EOL.ODON, Meyer l . 



Characters of cranium imperfectly known, owing to crushing; 

 teeth of unequal size, a long and a short one being arranged alter- 

 nately ; orbits apparently directed somewhat outwardly ; mandibular 

 symphysis wide and slightly concave anteriorly: anterior nares 

 apparently like those of the next subfamily ; ventral armour con- 

 sisting of small, closely-joined scutes, only slightly pitted. 



Reasons have been already adduced for doubting the identification 

 with this genus of Bhacheosaurus and Grocodilcemus.
