Molars. — The anterior talons are very short, the posterior 
moderately long and connected with their lobes by strong linking 
ridges. The fore and mid links run from the outer end of the 
crest of the lobes to the middle of the fore lobe and anterior 
talon respectively. The lobes are set obliquely to the line of the 
teeth, and this obliquity combined with the continuity of the end 
of one lobe with the middle of the next confers upon the series a 
facies peculiar to the genus. 
Upper incisors. — (PI. xiv. fig. 10.) The arch formed by the series 
is broad and flat; the teeth increase in breadth from the central 
pair outwards, but in the figure the relative width of the outer 
pair has not been duly represented by the artist. 
Succession of teeth. 
Of this nothing is known, except that the premolar is retained 
to old age.
