(FigS. 55 & 56.) Teeth large, thin and pointed; their forms correspond veryclosely to that of an isosceles triangle. They are flat on oneside; the enamel extends to the root on both sides; it is moreregularly sulcated upon the convex than upon the other side ;fior. 55 vouns of the 140 Bulletin 249 sokth-cakolina geological survey. 231 Fig. 56.
