356 APPENDIX. 



raised ; seen in profile, the projection of the fore- 

 head, the nose, the upper jaw, and the gums of the 

 under jaw, make ahnost a straight Une. 



I can add a few words respecting the skeleton : 

 the skull is pretty round, the jaw-bone not much 

 projecting, as the facial angle is sixty degrees ; on 

 the sagittal suture, no trace of a crista ; the nasal- 

 bone very small, triangular, two lines long ; the 

 inter-maxillary bones, begin already above the 

 nasal bones ; there are only twenty-eight teeth in 

 my female specimen, which, to judge from the 

 blackness of them, w^as already full-grown ; tlie 

 corner teeth scarcely larger than the others. There 

 are twelve pretty short vertebrae of the back j the 

 vertebrae of the loins, are seven in number, long, 

 and with broad transverse processes ; the os sacrum 

 consists of three vertebrae, of which only two join 

 the OS ilium, and, lastly, the tail is formed of twen- 

 ty-eight longish joints, without processes. Of the 

 twelve ribs, seven are primary, and five secondary; 

 the two lowest secondary ribs are not attached to 

 the place of junction of two vertebrae, but are 

 fixed to the body of one. Of the shoulder-blade, 

 it is also to be observed, that the coracoidal pro- 

 cess, which is here long, is divided as a separate 

 bone ; but is rendered only half moveable, by a 

 narrow gristle. The sternum consists of five bones, 

 lying longitudinally.
