Especially the occiput is strongly developed and provided v^ith crests. 

 There are only 8 alveoli in the whole upper-jaw, 4 ou the right and 

 4 on the left. The palate is very rough, provided with sharp edges 

 and crests and much perforated. The wisdom-teeth and the alveoli 

 for them are quite wanting both on the right and on the left. The 

 lineae temporales are very clear on the right and on the left and 

 run through on the frontal bone, strongly impressed. A few small 

 ossicula Wormiana occur in the sutura coronalis. There are a few 

 bigger ones in the sut. lambdoidea. — In looking at the left side of 

 the skull I was first of all struck by an os intertemporale (Ranke) 

 =: the OS epipterygium (Ficalbi) in the Pterion. Its sutures with 

 the 4 surrounding bones are clearly to be seen, except at the place 

 of the frontal bone, where the suture is still visible but hasyet more 

 or less disappeared in growing. This accessional bone has the shape 

 of a lengthened square. Greatest length 34 mm. Greatest breadth 

 11 mm. This intertemporal bone occurs also on the right side. 

 Here all the sutures are equally clear, the shape is also lengthened; 

 the greatest length being 31 mm. Greatest breadth 12 mm. — 

 A few small oss. "Wormiana are to be seen on the right and on the 

 left, just above the Pterion in the sut. coronalis. For the rest there 

 are no more of these little bones on the sut. cor. Towards the 

 Bregma the sut. cor. is less cut out and capricious in its course 

 than more downward. Generally rather the reverse is the case 

 with other skulls. The linea temp, superior and inferior run verj- 

 clearly on the frontale on the right and on the left. The first forms 

 a crest on the frontal bone. Where these two lines cut the sut. 

 cor., the lin. temp. sup. divides into two branches, which are both 

 clearly to be seen especially the upper branch which is continued 

 almost as far as the basis of the proc. Mastoideus. The other branch 

 of the lin. temp. sup. makes a smaller curve on the parietal bone and 

 bends hookedly near — a little above — the Asterion. The lin. temp, 

 inf. is much smaller and makes a faint curve until about halfway 

 the sut. squamosa against which it ends. On the right and ou the 

 left, we find the same formations. The upper branch of the lin. 

 temp. sup. forms a big crest in the middle of the parietal bone, on 

 the right and on the left. The parietal bone above and below this 

 crest shows a different appearance. Above we find a rough surface 

 with very fine pores and below it the surface is very smooth without 

 these pores. The sut. sagittalis is normally developed but exactly
