while the former is laterally expanded and bears dorsally a cup-like 
depression (c). The hinder half of the basihyal bears dorsally a 
rounded antero-posteriorly extending ridge. The parahyal pro- 
cesses arise much as they do in the Lories previously described, but 
are exceedingly slender and meet together at a symphysis which 
is situated about midway between the anterior and posterior 
extremities of the basihyal. The symphysis is connected with the 
preaxial part of the basihyal by a rather vertically broad osseous 
band which passes obliquely backward to it from just behind
