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

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

 their diameter, which is 1| in the length of the snout. The prtc- 

 orbital is 1^ as long as high ; a .slight protuberance above the \\\y\wY 

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