in breadth. The posterior tooth, somewhat ellipsoidal in outline, appears, when perfect, 
to have been about 8 lines long, and is three lines wide. 
The premaxillary dental plate, (figs. 27—30, plate 11,) is irregularly lozenge-shaped in 
its vertical outline antero-posteriorly, is a little over an inch in its long diameter, 5 lines 
in its depth, and 3 lines in its greatest thickness. Its anterior border is convex, the inner 
and outer surfaces are vertical, slightly depressed planes, and the crushing surface is con¬ 
cave.
