compared with A.javanicum, intertemporal constriction well- 

 maiked, orbital region wider ; rostrum conical, much broaler 

 than in A. javanicnm, its lateral outline gradually passing 

 into that of the zygoma. Nasals narrower anteriorly, only 

 broadening at their posterior end. When viewed in profile, 

 the zygomatic process of the maxillary is seen to be placed 

 more vertically, and to be shorter and broader. Lambdoid 

 crest rising in a straight line, not bent backwards. Infra- 

 orbital foramen much smaller and more oval, not so distinctly 

 triangular as in A. javanicum. Outline of occiput trapezoid, 

 not inflected below as in A. javanicum, as the parocci[)ital 

 processes are very broad and long, their tips depending 

 somewhat below condyle, wiiereas in A. javanicum tiiey are 

 in a line with it, or even above that line. Zygoma much 

 narrower, so partly causing the shape of the infraorbital 

 foramen described above. Opening of posterior nares 

 narrower. Posterior pction of palate narrower, anterior 

 portion shorter and broader than in A. javanicum. Bullae 

 very mucii flatter. Lateral margins of basioccipital not 

 curved as in A.javanicum.

This species is reaiily distinguished from A. javanicum., 

 its geographical neighbour, by the different shape of the 

 occiput, its flit bullse, and smaller size. Photographs of the 

 skull will be i)ublislied later, together with a complete list of 

 Dr. Elbert's collections. 



In compiling these notes I have been most liberally 

 assisted by Mr. O. Thomas, London ; Prof. Matschie, Berlin ; 

 Prof. Trouessart, Paris ; Prof. Allen, New York ; and 

 Prof. Jacobi, Dresden. I gladly take this opportunity to 

 thank them most heartily.
