Abstract

The Cynodontia is a division of the Theriodontia in which there are long and large temporal vacuities in the skull, formed chiefly by the squamosal and malar bones ; in which there is no descending pedicle to the squamosal bone ; in which the occipital condyle is crescentic and imperfectly divided into two lateral parts ; and in which the hinder molar teeth, larger than the incisor teeth, develop anterior and posterior cusps, are compressed from side to side, and overlap, with shearlike action, the teeth of the mandible.
