Note 4 — Chapter XIV

“The author showed drawings and some specimens of two hitherto unknown reptiles from the white, coarse-grained sandstone, of which one in the form of the skull resembles the gavial, but is distinguished by the cylindrical form of the lateral teeth of the jaws; he therefore calls it provisionally cylindricodon, and a second species or genus, of which, however, so far only fragments of the jaws have been found, because of the four-cornered form of the teeth, cubicodon, while at the same time for the genus or family, to which the remains of these animals have belonged, he proposes the name Phytosaurus, since the teeth seem to be more adapted to a vegetable diet, even though they have not been worn away, as in Iguanodon.”—Isis (1828), p. 441 (translation).
