Remarkable Crocodilian Molds and Jaw Formations
The creature measured about seven feet long excluding the tail. Its lower jaws sloped downward due to flangelike widening of the jawbones, likely protecting teeth from injury. Some larger South American forms lacked this flange, while their canine teeth grew over six inches and protruded below the jaws when closed, as noted by Prof. W. Williston in Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.

Water From Sand Dunes Supplies Amsterdam
Consul Corey notes Amsterdam draws water from sea dunes near Haarlem, 20 feet high and 2.5 miles wide, with fresh water mainly from rainfall. Water rises above sea level and remains fresh to 66 feet below sea level, while nearby water is salty. Dunes feed via pipes and canals, with Haarlem using wells 55 feet below ground. Permanence of supply is questioned as wells can turn salty.
