mosal foramen, and also a not very small supraglenoid foramen. There is a 

 small foramen anterior to the optic, and in line with the posterior part of the 

 postfrontal angle. The foramen opticum is large, and is 10mm. in front of 

 the /. sphenobrbitale. The latter is separated by a lamina from the large and 

 vertically oval/. rott(,ndu7n. The latter is joined by the large alisphenoid 

 canal, whose posterior orifice is as large as the foramen ovale. The latter is 

 large, and is well separated from the /. lacerum anterius. The /. /. 

 lacera are well closed up, the posterms being reduced to what Is probably 

 the jugular foramen. The /. condyloideum is large, and is an anteroposter- 

 iorly placed oval. Its anterior extremity is opposite to and well separated 

 from the /. jugulare. 



The nasal bones are spread out posteriorly, and their posterior extremi- 

 ties are truncate. The coronal suture passes downwards at the narrowest 

 part of the cranium behind the postfrontal angles. The squamosal bone 

 does not reach the frontal. The parietal does not extend so far posterior- 

 ly as the lateral occipital crests, except near the squamosal. 



The characters of the last superior molars have already been mentioned. 

 The posterior transverse crest is uninterrupted, but the anterior consists of 

 closely united internal and median lobes. The division is marked on the 

 posterior side, and on the edge of the crest ; the anterior face is plane. 

 The longitudinal external crest sends a strong protuberance into the head 

 of the valley, which is grooved on its surface. There is a strong anterior 

 basal cingulum which rises to an anterior cusp. On numerous surfaces the 

 •enamel is slightly rugose. The inferior canine teeth are in continuous se- 

 ries with the incisors, and are slightly larger than they.

The portion of ilium remaining exhibits a rather narrow neck and a 

 concave external face. A fragment of the femur shows a prominent third 

 trochanter, with an obtusely rounded apex. Tlie distal part of the fibula 

 is not coossified with the tibia. Its shaft is exceedingly slender. The 

 angles bounding the trochlear grooves and ridges of the tibia are of sub-equal
