. The coal measures Amphibia of North America. Amphibians, Fossil; Paleontology; Paleontology. THE TEMNOSPONDYLOUS AM I'll 1 HI A. 191 as in Anaschisma and other labyrinthodont genera. The splenial is a small, slender clement located farther forward, where it has been i hoved by the large-sized internal mandibular foramina. The prcarticular is a rather long, broad element, of which only a portion is preserved. I am not sure as to the location of the sutnre for the dentary, unless it is represented by the line bounding the roughened area near the teeth. If this is true, the dentary is a large elemenl, sinee it extends well down up< m the outer side of the jaw. The dentary possesses evidences of 26 teeth, a few of which are completely preserved. Most of them are, however, represented either by bases or by impressions in the coal. The teeth are very similar to those of the maxilla, though slightly larger. The characters given for the maxillary teeth will suffice for those of the Fig. 42. A. Outer view of mandible of Eobaphetes kansensis Moodie, from the Coal Measures of Washington County, Kansas.

Inner surface of mandible of Eobaphetes kansensis Moodie, from the Coal Measures of Washington County, Kansas. X a, angular; p, prearticular; r, articular; s, splenial. The markings of the inner surface are as indicated in the drawing. The back portion of the angular shows a few radiating lines. The dentary is roughened in two portions: one near the teeth, the other at the tip, where there is a cartilaginous roughening for union with its mate. The remainder of the inner surface is relatively smooth. The outer surface shows a
