Discussion.

Mr. Hulke remarked on the resemblance of the under and upper sides of the skull described to that of Goniopholis.

Prof. Seeley demurred to the nomenclature employed by the author in describing teeth, and especially to his statement that in this and other Crocodilians there were several canines.

Prof. Owen stated that he had used the term canine in reference to the relative size and form of the teeth of Crocodiles, and not to their position in the jaws.
