Archive image from page 146 of A description of the fossil. A description of the fossil fish remains of the Cretaceous, Eocene and Miocene formations of New Jersey descriptionoffos00fowl Year: 1911 HOLOCEPHALI. 117 ter oval, well within border, cut off at its posterior portion, but in advance of position of inner area. Dentinal areas moderate, inner undivided, extending to inner margin on upper face of mandible, and outer area produced anterior to inner area. Inner and posterior outer dentinal areas lost. Length, to anterior outer area, 50 mm. Terminal column laminar, extending well back on outer edge of beak. Outer face of jaw uniformly convex to an- terior outer area, apex transverse, not compressed. Symphyseal face not well marked. (From Cope.) This species is stated by Cope to be quite near B. mirificus, dif- fering in uniform convexity of outer face, which in the latter is Fig. 67.—Edaphodon eocanus (Cope). (Type, from Hussakof.) partially concave. Cope says the palatal areas are large, elongate, but not on elevated bases as in B. smockii. Outer face of palatal smooth, lower border very oblique to interior, which is longitu- dinally grooved. The specimen he had included five dentinal columns, inner borders more or less exposed, and median or in- terior column longest. This piece was similar in generic char- acters to that of B. mirificus. Formation and locality. The type consists of a mandibular in the American Museum at New York. Two paratypes are a pala- tal and a fragment, all from the Eocene greensand of Farming- dale in Monmouth County. I have not examined any examples.
