DR. R. BROOM ON THE 



The occiput is very similar to that of Cynognathus, but the 

 limits of tlie various elements are less satisfactorily known. The 

 condyle is double, but is relatively smaller and less mammal-like 

 than in Cynognathus. 



The palate is beautifully shown in three of the British Museum 

 specimens.

Upper view of skull of Giomplwgnathus minor. 

 The snout restored from G-om^hognathus Icannemeyeri. 



In the anterior palatine opening there is a pair of narrow bones 

 showing what I suggested a good many years ago were probably 

 prevomers. Only one specimen is known in which they are shown. 

 They are evidently not parts of the premaxillse, and as they are in 

 position exactly corresponding to the prevomers of Ornitho- 

 rhynchiis, I am still of opinion that they correspond to the paired 

 vomers of most reptiles and the prevomers of Platypus and of 

 Miniopterus.
