 nmn is anchylosed with the basi occipital, and is referred to by the letters

Fig. 34. Right lateral view of the cranium of Megalops. Missing parts are seen from 

 this aspect, as the parietals and basispheuoid. The normal position of 

 this cranium would have the parasphenoid, Pr. s., in the horizontal plane,

 seen m Fig. 33, and both were drawn by the author from a specimen kindly 

 lent him by Professor Gill from his private cabinet.
