Skull long, smooth and rounded, in general shape not unlike 

 that of N. teniotis • quite different from that of " Chserephon " ; 

 ridges much reduced, tipper profile sinuate, a marked concavity 

 passing across the fronto-parietal suture ; antero-external corners 

 of braincase unusuallj'' prominent ; upper side of zygomata with an 

 immensely developed postorbital plate, far exceeding that of any 

 other member of the family. Premaxillary region essentially of 

 the " Cheerephon " type, the narrow notch between the pre- 

 maxillaries not reaching to the level of the hinder edge of the 

 incisor roots, and not communicating with the very small anterior 

 palatine foramina. Posterior edge of palate level with m^ 

 Distinct, deep, and sharply defined basisphenoid pits present, with 

 overhanging edges, and high mesial septum. Tympanies very 

 large, their antero-internal halves projected forwards nearly to the 

 pterygoids.

 centre of the considerable space between the canine and large 

 premolar. M^ normal, broad, with four well-marked cusps and 

 their connecting commissures. Lower incisors 4< in number. 

 Anterior lower premolar about half the height and nearly equalling 

 the area in cross section of the posterior premolar, from which it 

 is separated by a narrow space.
