3. _Crocodilus Americanus_ (_acutus_, Cuv.)

has the slenderness of snout (even more marked) and the form of the

premaxillo-maxillary suture of the preceding species; but it is at once

distinguished from this and all other Crocodiles (except _C. rhombifer_)

by the marked longitudinal and transverse convexity of the middle of the

face, which gives the profile a totally different aspect from that of

the other species, which are flat or concave in this region.
