have a more or less one-sidedly specialized nose. So with Cynocephalis 
(C. porcarius, hamadryas, sphinx, mormon) the nostrils are to the front, 
they lie at the oral extremity of the cartt. alares; these have a crus 
mediale. A detailed description of Semnopithecus nasicus has been 
given by Wreprrsnerm'). With Colobus (Cursinus, C. Pennanti, C. Kirkii) 
the prominent part of the medial rim of the nostril, which extends 
inwardly into the processus navicularis of the maxilloturbinale, is 
strongly developed ; the nose is flabby, the medial rim covers almost 
the nose-opening. With a Colobus ursinus the distantia internarina 
was “rather large’, 0.55 em. Of Catarrhini the external nose of 
Semnopithecus is least differentiated. 
With Cebus the distantia internarina varies between 1,2 and 1,4 
em.; with Ateles between 0,55 (Ateles grisescens) and 1,15 ecm. ; 
with Macacus between 0,15 and 0,3 (1 specimen 0,4) em.; with 
Cercopithecus between 0,3 and 0,4 cm. ; with Seinnopithecus between 
0,3 and 0,55 (Lophopithecus melanophos 0,6 cm). 
Anthropoides are catarrhini like man. In the opening of the nose 
no Processus navicularis protrudes. Hylobates has entirely the nose 
of Catarrhini. The form of the nostrils is lengthened oval, the 
medial side however regularly curved; as no processus navicularis 
penetrates into the opening of the nose; the nostrils are not limited 
with regard to the upperlip. The flabby cartt. alares possess a 
crus mediale, which extends into the septum mobile. In two young 
specimens of Simia satyrus I found in the angle cartilago triangularis 
a small cartilaginous piece, a cartilago sesamoidea (of the human 
anatomy). There is here a vestige of a wing of the nose, the latter 
does not contain any cartilage. The oval nostrils lie in the plane of 
the face. The external nose of a specimen of a new born human 
being which I examined, agrees very much with that of a young 
Chimpanzee ; in the latter the nostrils are likewise turned somewhat 
downward and to the front. In the new-born and young human 
beings the cartilago alaris extends still very regularly into the crus 
mediale. Only in the full-grown individual the erus mediale passes 
with a sharp deflection, angulus pinnalis, into the remaining part of 
the cart. alaris, crus laterale. Cartt. alares minores lie in the lateral 
continuation of the cartilago alaris (major). The wing of the nose 
does not contain any cartilage. Cartt. sesamoideae lie as with Orang 
between cart. alaris and cart. triangularis.
