Yerj- closely allied to the preceding species, from which it differs 

 in the greater length of the palpebral horn-like appendage, and 

 especially in the presence of a similar appendage on the tip of the 

 snout. In fuU-grown individuals the skin becomes entirely adherent 

 to the skull, and the skin of the back is hardened by bony deposits, 

 thus bearing great analogy to the dorsal shield of several species 

 of Ceratoplirys. This occurs also, Imt to a lesser degree, in the 

 preceding species.
