ASSAMI. 



Type of N/fdochcBri's. 



Typical locality Abyssinia. 



Type in Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt-am-Maiu. 



Apparently allied in external characters, as well as in 

 the development of the facial tuberosities, to P. cluvropotamus, 

 but the parietal region — of which the flat portion is com- 

 paratively narrow, although rather less so than in P. c. 

 nyasaj — much longer, both actually, and relatively to tlie 

 rest of the skull. 



No specimen in collection.
