Alligator sinense Fauvel. Mandible (Amer. Mus. No. 23898). One-half natural size. A, lateral view, left side; B, superior view. SuPRAOcciPiTAL.—As ill A. mississippiensis this bone occupies no portion of the border of the cranial table. On the posterior surface of the skull it is narrow laterally and deep vertically. It extends down- ward to a point about four-fifths of the total distance from the foramen magnum to the cranial table, below the latter. ExocciPiTALS.—These bones are relatively deep in the vertical direction. They comprise small portions of the occipital condyle. Basioccipital.—This bone comprises most of the occipital condyle but not all of it. Basisphenoid.—This bone is not especially characteristic. Quadrates.—The quadrates are stout in proportion to their length and their articular surfaces are unusually broad. —These bones do not differ fi-om those of A. mississippiensis in any characteristic way. JuGALS.—The jugals are relatively larger than in the Florida species and differ from those of the latter in form. Their length is over half the.
