Dentition
Teeth smooth edged as in other members of this genus; uppers with only 3 cusps, the axial much the largest. Lowers with cutting edge nearly parallel with general trend of the jaw. Cusp of the median lower tooth, identified as such by its base overlapping that of the next tooth on either side, directed strongly outward, to the one side or the other, on all specimens seen. Two or three rows functional in upper jaw but one row only in lower jaw [198];
