The height of the body is 2| in the total length, the length of the 

 head foiir times ; the distance between the eyes is rather more than 

 theii- diameter, which is 1§ in the length of the snont. The pra3- 

 orbital is 1^ as long as high; a shght protuberance above the upper 

 anterior angle of the eye. The incisors are broad, obtuse ; the 

 molars in great number, forming four series, above and beneath ;
