In Oreodon major the basi-occipital is much more strongly keeled relatively than 

 in the other species, and it appears narrower from the encroachment upon it laterally 

 of the auditory bulla?. The basi-sphenoid is more convex transversely. 



The teeth of Oreodon, major are identical in form witli those of the other species. 



The measurements of the specimen of the skull of Oreodon major are as follows : 



Length from summit of inion to end of nose, 



Length from occipital condyles to incisive alveoli, . 



Height of inion from summit to lower edge of occipital foramen. 



Breadth just above the auditory meatus, 



Length of cranium from summit of inion to post orbital margin, 



Extreme length from lateral border of inion to post-orbital margin. 



Breadth of cranium at anterior squamosal border.s, . 



Breadth of narrowest portion of cranium, 



Breadth at zygomata, .... 



Breadth at post-orbital arches, 



Breadth at anterior orbital margins, 



Breadth at ends of fi'ontal angular processes, 



Breadth at canine alveoli, .... 



Breadth at first molar alveoli, 



Breadth at last molar alveoli, 



Breadth at infra-orbital foramina, . 



Distance of supra-orbital foramina, . 



Length efface from post-orbital margin to incisive alveoli,
