. A description of the fossil fish remains of the Cretaceous, Eocene and Miocene formations of New Jersey. Fishes, Fossil; Paleontology; Geology. 164 CRETACEOUS AND TERTIARY FISH. Formation and locality. Known from various teeth, the type a palatine tooth, in the collection of the American Museum at New York. It is from the "Cretaceous No. 4" at St. Georges, Delaware, though Cope also had other material from the same horizon in New Jersey. Not seen by me. Enchodus oxytomus Cope.

Enchodus oxytomus Cope, Rep. U. S. Geol. Surv. Terr., II, 1875, P- 278- Clays below Cretaceous, No. 4, N. J. Long tooth from front extremity of premaxillary or dentary. Differs from other species of the genus in extent to which hind cutting-edge prolongs downward toward base of tooth, nearly equaling in this respect anterior edge. As in all other species of the genus cutting-edges not opposite, and a section of base un- symmetrical. Cementum mostly smooth. Crown rather broad for its length, which is below average of Cretaceous species. (From Cope.) Only known from the above incompletely described example, originally in the Cope collection. Formation and locality. Known only from "clays below Cre- taceous No. ; Not seen by me. Enchodus sp. Tooth solid, curved, compressed, rounded convexly behind and constricted to sharp cutting-edge in front, and (though imper- fect) apparently entire. Crown as viewed from cutting-edge. Fig. 100.—Enchodus sp. Monmouth Co. (Slack). deflected convexly to one side, and basally slightly expanded. Each side of base with fine parallel striae of rather uneven depth, and not extending up more than basal two-fifths.
