may be faid, that in proportion to the bulk of the animal, this 
is the leaft Crdniiim lo be met with in any quadruped 3 on 
the forehead, the fnout was an inch broad, having on each 
fide a protuberance jutting out; there was a large future, 
exa(5lly in the middle^ which divided the upper bones of the 
Narcs length-wife, and tho' they run flender towards the ex- 
tremity ()f the Nares, yet thelc bones, towards the forehead, 
fpread into a triangular figure, and as they are jointed together, 
form a rhomboid, or lozenge 3 there was a remarkable ridge, 
like a crefl, that ran the length of the Cranitnriy from the fore- 
head to the 06T//'///, exadly in the middle, where the Sutura 
Sagit talis is in other Iculls ^ this riuge, for diftindion-fake. 
Dr. Tyfon calls "Trotuherantia Ojjca Lofigitudirmlis, and he 
obferved it to jut out from the Crctnium above a quarter of an 
inch 5 juftatits upper edge, he could perceive a fcum like a 
future; fo that, tho' thefe bones are fo well united, as to 
appear but one entire body, yet in the Pectus, without doubt, 
they are feparable, and are two; and this he thinks the rather, 
as in the upper patt of the Cranium he could not find any 
futures at all ; folikewile, thofe other ridges in the extremity 
of the Occiput^ which he calls Trotnheraritice Offe^e LateraleSy 
anfwer to the lumbdoidal futures; and theie protuberances 
arifing on each fide from the Trocefjus Styloides afcend ob- 
liquely up the hinder part of the Occiput^ and juft in the 
middle at the top are joined with the longitudinal ridge 5 
thefe ridges, tho' as deep as the firfl, yet they did not fland fo 
upright, but projc6fed rather like a pent-houfe over this hin- 
der part of the Cranium ; by both which ridges, the Cranium 
is fo well guarded and defended, that it is almoll impoflible 
that the fcull /hould be any ways cracked or broken; lome- 
thing like thefe ridges, but nothing fo large, he obferved in 
the Icull of a weafel: The eyes were alio well defended by 
the Os Zygomaticum^ which is very broad and ftrong, being in 
the broadcil place above ^ of an inch, and in the narroweft 
half an inch, very thick on its under edge, but at its upper 
growing thin and fharp; but for ftrcngthcning this bone, 
which is formed by a procefs from the'C^i Tmporum, and 
another from the Masillci inferior, where thcfc meet, they 
lap over each other, and fo become the Ihonger; this Os 
Zygomaticum was two inches and a half long, and projecting 
from the Cranium an inch; in the orbit of the eye ; at the 
internal Canthus, there was a large Foramen, which led into 
tb? cavity of rhc nofe, and by a dufl placed here, the tears,
