“lower” dental plate fused with one small adjoining 
tooth, and six anterior (//eZo(?«s-shaped) teeth of largo

P. 5858. Two small dental jdates, resembling the “ lower,” hut 
more convex, and an elongated anterior tooth with a 
transverse suture dividing the crown into two parts. 
P. 4213. A very large dental plate, perhaps of this species, and 
apparently consisting of three of the 7/e/ocftts-shaped

Tyqn. “ Upper” dental plate shown in PI. VI. fig. 14. 
A small species, the “ upper ” dental plate usually measuring 
about 0-012 antoro-postoriorly. Outer margin of “upper” dental 
plate outwardly curved, and the inner margin also gently curved 
throughout its length, the bend being almost in the middle ; 
coronal contour gently, though considerably, raised along a line 
connecting the bend of the inner border with that of the outer. 
“Lower” dental plate (probably) strongly convex, very oblique; 
antero-latoral border marked by large indentations ; inner border 
curved. 
The complete dentition of this species not yet being known, and 
so many other Coehliodonts occurring upon the same horizon, it is 
impossible to identify its anterior teeth, which are probably included 
among the anterior teeth described below as of the form of Uelodus 
Icevissimus, auctorum.
