The arch is then supratemporal, and this element maybe fused with the supramastoid in the Dinosauria. If the Rhtnchocephalia of the Mesozoic had the same structure as Spheno-don, we may ascribe to them an infratemporal foramen and a zygomatic arch. Theformer is bounded above by a bar which consists anteriorly of the postorbital, andposteriorly, in all probability, of the supratemporal. Hence the postfrontal andsupramastoicl do not communicate as they do in the Ichthyopterygia; and the largeforamen above the superior bar has different boundaries below from that observed inIchthyosaurus, but is like that of the Anomodonta. Hence I call this foramen the.
