This species resembles C. stuliliiKinni, M itschie, but differs 

 in the black band across breast, absent altogether in Matschie's 

 species; in the black on upper back and hind-neck, wliich is 

 more or less speckled in the allied species ; and in the blacker 

 legs, having ver}' slight speckling.

Gen. char. Skulls alone known, no skin. Size large; 

 facial region much longer than brain-case ; rostrum very 

 broad ; ridges curved, and most widely separated at middle, 

 not lisiiig above nasals for their entire length; very broad 

 posteriorly ; lat( ral pits long and wide, but not deep ; entire 

 widtli of orbits only slightly broader than greatest width of 

 rostrum ; occipital region in shape pyramidal, not rounded, 

 ])osteriorly ; no sagittal crest, but low ridges start on outer 

 side of each orbit and meet at interparietal ; zygomatic arches 

 broad, but not widely spread : pterygoid fossa very broad ; 

 palatal aich rounded; palate broad, widest anteriorly; tooth- 

 rows straight; canines heavy, broad, and rather short.

There are a number of skulls of this species in the Berlin 

 Museum, all characterized by the broad f];it rostral region, 

 and the depressed almost straight rostral ridges, not curved 

 as in P. mai'mon. A comjjarison of the skulls of the two 

 species shows that they differ in almost every |)articular. 

 In the new form the rostral region is flatter, longer, and wider, 

 the ridges not rising to the top of the nasals; narial opening
