NOTE ON POETEEUS AUSTEALIS, A. S. WOODWAEE.— LONGMAN. 95 
Remains of two upper teeth are shown in the matrix in the region of the pre- 
maxillse. One of these is very stout, the oval section being 7 mm. in diameter. 
Our specimen thus confirms the original generic classification of the type. The 
Family Saurodontidce having been restricted by Crook to the genera Saurocephalus , 
Harlan, and Saurodon, Hays, these specimens should be placed in the Family 
Ichthyodectidcc , Crook.* 
Our specimens show several of the bones of the head in fair condition, 
the longitudinal crest being well marked. In the posterior upper portion of 
the fossil remains of several vertebras may be distinguished. Comment on these 
and other features must be left for more expert hands. In the second specimen 
received from Mr. Dunn, the jaws are more fragmentary, and the dentition does 
not contain the anterior teeth. It is hoped that further examples from the 
same district will be shortly available, in order that duplicates of these interest- 
ing fishes may be secured for other institutions.
