Genus SAURODON 9 Hays. 
[Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. n. s. vol. iii. 1830, p. 475.] 
Syn. Daptinus, E. D. Cope, Froc. Acad. Xat. Sci. Philad, 1873, p. 339. 
Teeth hollow, in deep sockets, compressed to a sharp edge in 
front and behind; those of the maxilla, as also those of the dentary, 
almost uniform, only slightly increasing in size backwards, and 
those of the premaxilla not much enlarged ; the inner margin of 
each dental alveolus deeply notched. A small toothless pres^’m- 
physial bone in the mandible. Vertebrae as in Ichtliyodectes and 
Chirocentrites. 
The identity of the so-called Daptinus with this genus was deter¬ 
mined by Cope after an examination of the type specimen of 
Saurodon leanus (Bull. F.S. Geol. Surv. Territ. vol. iii. 1877, 
p. 588).

Type. Imperfect jaws ; National Museum, Washington. 
The type species, with upper jaw about 0-07 or 0*08 in length. 
Dental crowns smooth,^ as deep as broad, with the sharp edges 
convex or slightly sinuous and the apex sometimes curved back¬ 
wards ; about 9 or 10 dental alveoli in the premaxiUa, about 36 in 
the maxilla, and about 42 in the dentary. Length of oral border 
of premaxilla about three quarters its depth; length of oral border 
of maxilla about twice its maximum depth.
