Important features of the roofing bone pattern (shown in fig. 2) are the large postparietal, a very large supratemporal reaching the rear of the skull roof, absence of a tabular, and small laterally placed squamosal and quadratojugal. The pattern is clearly that regarded as typical of microsaurs byRomer (1950, fig. 1). The surface of the roofing bones is smooth. The shattered palate shows no structure except a broad plate of bone (parasphenoid) beneath the brain case. The jaws lie in place, largely con- cealed from view by the maxillaries. Eleven upper teeth can be distinguished on the right side of the skull. These all appear to belong to the maxillary, and it cannot be determined whether other maxillary teeth preceded them, nor how many premaxiUary teeth there were. The teeth are short, with blunt conical tips on some of which longitudinal striations similar to those of the better known Cardio- cephalus and Euryodus teeth may be seen. Tooth diameter is greatest in.
