Abstract
Description of two fossil fragments of dentaries of a species of Crocodylus from Pleistocene deposits in southwestern Celebes, are the first crocodilian remains known from the island of Celebes. The larger fragment, a left dentary showing the alveoli for the fourth to the ninth tooth, is remarkable because of the irregular arrangement of the teeth. The smaller fragment, with the alveoli of the eighth and ninth teeth, suggests that the dentary is short Comparison with a series of recent Indo-Australian crocodiles suggests specific difference rather than anomaly.
