Abstract

"From the known characters of the internal skeleton Brachyostracon appears to be related to the family Sclerocalyptidae chiefly in the development of the teeth, in the elongate skull assigned to it and described by Cuatáparo and Ramirez, and in the general development of the pelvis. Some characters of the exoskeleton, as the lack of a lateral anterior prolongation of the carapace and the disposition of known head shield plates in rows, indicate an affinity to the family Glyptodontidae"--P. 175.
