Fig. 2. — Head of the same, in profile, from a skin preserved 

 in spirits. The long bristles of the face were somewhat broken 

 at the point, and, on that acconnt, somewhat shorter than in the 

 living state. (After the process of stuffing and drying the length 

 of these hairs is still further reduced).

 Fig. 4. End of the head (nose and mouth) from heloio. 

 Figs. 5, 6, 7. Before the specimen was stuffed the skull was 

 taken out, and replaced by a plaster cast, in order that it might 

 be available for further investigation and comparison. X ^^ ^^^ 

 thus become possible to give a correct drawing of the jaws, with 

 the teeth in situ, and of the hard palate, with the characteristic 

 transverse ridges.
