Portions of 3 neurals are at hand, those represented by Cope's figs. 18, 22, and 25. The first-mentioned (fig. 332) has a width of 22 mm., probably belonged well forward, and was possibly the second. The median carina is barely perceptible. No sulcus crosses the portion present. That part of a neural from which Cope's fig. 25 was drawn (fig. 332a) is narrow and devoid of a carina. It is crost near the fracture bv a narrow and shallow sulcus. It appears quite probable that this is the posterior end of the first neural. At its lateral border it is 5 mm. thick. The neural represented by Cope's fig. 22 (fig. m) apparently belonged to the rear of the carapace, and resembles closely the sixth of Staurotypus salvinii. Its length is 18 mm.;.
