A new species of the edopoid genus Cochleosaurus, C.florensis, has been found in the Westphalian D deposits of Nova Scotia. It differs from the Czechoslovakian species C. bohemicus in the sculpture pattern of dermal bones and in skull proportions. Morphologically, the skull of Cochleosaurus is intermediate between those of the edopoid genera Dendrerpeton (Westphalian B of Nova Scotia) and Chenoprosopus (Lower Permian of New Mexico).
