BUFFALO SOCIETY OF NATURAL SCIENCES 47 but bear an ornamentation of fine stellate tubercles very similar to those of Dinichthys pustulosus. We may now record that Dinichthys newberryi occurs in the Cono- dont bed, at Eighteen Mile Creek, where it is found associated with the remains of four or five other species of Dinichthys. The remains represented in the Buffalo museum consist of mandibles, upper dental plates, and various more or less fragmentary elements of the head and body armor. As to the species in which these mandibles belong, there can be no doubt, since they show the elongated beak characteristic of this Fig. 14. Dinichthys newberryi Clarke. Mounted Restoration of the Dentition. X 5 The antero-superognathals, or front upper teeth, range from very small specimens only 31 mm. in height, to large ones equalling those of D. intermedins, and which probably represent full-grown individ- uals. Our reference of these elements to Dinichthys newberryi is based on the fact that the worn area on the inner face is unusually long and narrow, thus proving it to have been caused by an elongated man- dibular beak of the kind present only in D. newberryi. The ventral plates and the antero-dorsolateral described below, are only doubtfully referred to this species. Our main reason for so referring them is that they bear an ornamentation of fine tubercles somewhat like those seen on the fragmentary plate belonging to the type specimen of D.
