Genus Parascapanodon Parascapanodon avifontis (Fig. 10) 9127. Type. Voelfontein, Collected Boonstra 1929. This specimen consists of parts of a skull including parts of the upper and lower jaws together with good bones of the postcranial skeleton. Apart from some roots of the upper incisors there is an incomplete right mandibular ramus showing the roots of most of the teeth. Of the incisors only the root of the fourth is present. The canine root is oval in section (diams. 28 and 36 mm.) and the lingual wall of the alveolus shows an opening for the replacing canine. The set of postcanines consisted of 21 teeth of which the first is much larger than the rest. Nos. 8, 10, 12 and 15 are replacing teeth lying lingual of alveoli from which the former set has fallen out. The length of the postcanine series is 180 D ' 1 tx /*! Fig. 10. Parascapanodon avifontis.
