Re-examination of the type of this form shows that the structure of 

 the preparietal region has hitherto been misinterpreted. A figure is 

 here given of this region. It will be seen that, instead of being a 

 long bone entirely enclosing the pineal foramen, the preparietal is 

 comparatively small and forms the anterior border only of the 

 foramen. 



In other points there seems nothing to add to the description given 

 by Dr. Broom.
