Type. Four associated teeth, in natural relative positions ; British 
Museum. 
A small species. Teeth comparatively thick; the inner two 
thirds of the crown round and tumid, rapidly thinning outwards 
laterally.

36469. Type specimen, figured, of the natural size, by Morris and 
Roberts, he. cit. Two symmetrical pairs of teeth are 
shown, one behind the other. Of one pair each tooth is 
approximately as broad as long, while of the succeeding 
(or preceding) pair the length equals only about two 
thirds of the breadth. The appearance of tapering both 
anteriorly and posteriorly is due to accidental fracture.

The teeth are comparatively thin, though the root attains about

been flat, smooth, and punctate. The length and breadth of each
