3. DELPniNus. 249 



TesoniUance to that of Deljihhuts Delphls. The intermaxillarics, 

 united as far as the middle of the rostrum, are vaulted, so that the 

 section of their united middle portion forms a complete semicircle, 

 arising abruptly from the maxillaries, and being there only as broad 

 as the exposed portion of each maxillary : probably a distinctive 

 specific character.
