On the right side the jugal is continued back as a broad bone on the side of the skull for a centimetre behind the postorbital bar, and on the same side the bone which covers the outer side of the quadrate (probably the quadrato-jugal) is continued forwards with a horizontal lower border, as if to meet the jugal. The condition of this region is much more like that of TheropJeura or Opliiacodtm than of Varano- saunis brevirostris as figured by Williston, Fig. 4. ?.f\R.
