region and the loss of the extremity of the premaxillse, is 

 perfect, and is the onlj' skull in the Museum exhibiting 

 all the bones of the palate in their natural relationship. 

 It is considerably larger than the skull of the skeleton 

 No. A. 95 of E. f/ravij^es, but is altogether wider and 

 relatively shorter ; this being apparent both in the cranium 

 and mandible. The basioccipital tubercles are also much 

 less prominent than in that specimen, or in any of the 

 crania mentioned under the heading of E. crassus ; and 

 the vertical height of the supraoccipital is considerably 

 greater than in the latter.
