The face of the skull elongate; forehead flat. The palate con- 

 cave, especially in front, with a thickened margin on each side 

 near the teeth, about as wide in front as between the hinder 

 teeth, and then narrowed behind; the internal nasal opening 

 elongate, longer than broad, narrow and arched in front, the 

 edge in a line with the orbital process of the zygomatic arch, 

 which is large and well developed. 



In the adult skull of A. Delalandii from the Cape the fifth 

 hinder grinder has only very short rounded callous roots, which 

 are slightly divided into two lobes ; and the hinder or sixth 

 upper grinder seems to have a root of the same character. But 

 not having any skulls of younger animals, I am not able to de- 

 scribe what are the forms of the root of these two teeth in the 

 younger state. 



In the skulls of the other species (which are not adult, as they 

 have the sutures between the bones still distinct), the fifth and 

 sixth upper grinders have two distinct diverging roots.
