  compared 
  with 
  A. 
  javanicum, 
  intertemporal 
  constriction 
  well- 
  

   maiked, 
  orbital 
  region 
  wider 
  ; 
  rostrum 
  conical, 
  much 
  broa 
  ler 
  

   than 
  in 
  A. 
  javanicum, 
  its 
  lateral 
  outline 
  gradually 
  passing 
  

   into 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  zygoma. 
  Nasals 
  narrower 
  anteriorly, 
  only 
  

   broadening 
  at 
  their 
  posterior 
  end. 
  When 
  viewed 
  in 
  profile, 
  

   the 
  zygomatic 
  process 
  of 
  the 
  maxillary 
  is 
  seen 
  to 
  be 
  placed 
  

   more 
  vertically, 
  and 
  to 
  be 
  shorter 
  and 
  broader. 
  Lambdoid 
  

   crest 
  rising 
  in 
  a 
  straight 
  line, 
  not 
  bent 
  backwards. 
  Infra- 
  

   orbital 
  foramen 
  much 
  smaller 
  and 
  more 
  oval, 
  not 
  so 
  distinctly 
  

   triangular 
  as 
  in 
  A. 
  javanicum. 
  Outline 
  of 
  occiput 
  trapezoid, 
  

   not 
  inflected 
  below 
  as 
  in 
  A. 
  javanicum, 
  as 
  the 
  paroccipital 
  

   processes 
  are 
  very 
  broad 
  and 
  long, 
  their 
  tips 
  depending 
  

   somewhat 
  below 
  condyle, 
  whereas 
  in 
  A. 
  javanicum 
  they 
  are 
  

   in 
  a 
  line 
  with 
  it, 
  or 
  even 
  above 
  that 
  line. 
  Zygoma 
  much 
  

   narrower, 
  so 
  partly 
  causing 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  infraorbital 
  

   foramen 
  described 
  above. 
  Opening 
  of 
  posterior 
  nares 
  

   narrower. 
  Posterior 
  portion 
  of 
  palate 
  narrower, 
  anterior 
  

   portion 
  shorter 
  and 
  broader 
  than 
  in 
  A. 
  javanicum. 
  Bullae 
  

   very 
  much 
  flatter. 
  Lateral 
  margins 
  of 
  basioccipital 
  not 
  

   curved 
  as 
  in 
  A. 
  javanicum.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  readily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  A. 
  javanicum, 
  

   its 
  oreographical 
  neighbour, 
  by 
  the 
  different 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  

   occiput, 
  its 
  flat 
  bullae, 
  and 
  smaller 
  size. 
  Photographs 
  of

   skull 
  will 
  be

  In

  O. 
  Thomas,
