 trary to what we find in Phoenicophaes, it is the anterior 

 regions of the ridges which come into contact. It may be

further remarked that the postero-external angles of the 

 palatines in Seythrops are more cut away than in Eiuhjnamis, 

 while in Phcenicophaes and its ally the form of the angle is 

 intermediate between that in Eudynamis and Carpococcyx. It 

 is apparently easy, therefore, to trace the modifications of the 

 palate through the series of genera which constitute the sub- 

 families Phoenicophainae and Centropodinse in two directions.
