 which is very slightly concave, the outer margin slightly convex and 

 the frontal angle about 55^; m profile about one and a half times as 

 deep as long, irregular ovate, the frontal margin strongly curved below, 

 while the hind margin is moderately convex ; when seen from front 

 the frontal margin wholly one and a half times as long as the facial 

 margin which is slightly convex at the lower third and is forming a
