  Skeleton. 
  — 
  Skull 
  very 
  flat 
  and 
  feebly 
  ossified, 
  the 
  

   enormous 
  fontanelle 
  being 
  but 
  narrowly 
  bordered 
  at 
  

   the 
  sides, 
  or 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  and 
  behind, 
  by 
  the 
  much- 
  

   reduced 
  fronto-parietal 
  bones 
  ; 
  ethmoid 
  short 
  and 
  

   nearly 
  entirely 
  exposed, 
  its 
  upper 
  lamina 
  with 
  convex 
  

   anterior 
  border, 
  and 
  in 
  contact 
  with 
  or 
  narrowly 
  

   separated 
  from 
  the 
  nasals 
  ; 
  the 
  latter 
  bones 
  have 
  a 
  

   concave 
  anterior 
  and 
  a 
  convex 
  posterior 
  border, 
  and 
  

   are 
  in 
  contact 
  with 
  each 
  other 
  in 
  the 
  median 
  line. 
  

   Squamosal 
  feeble, 
  with 
  short 
  zygomatic, 
  and 
  no 
  pos- 
  

   terior 
  branch. 
  Vomers 
  thin 
  ossifications 
  narrowly 
  

   separated 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  line 
  ; 
  no 
  palatine 
  bones 
  ; 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  branch 
  of 
  the 
  trifurcate 
  pterygoid 
  much 
  

   elongate, 
  extending 
  to 
  the 
  anterior 
  border 
  of 
  the 
  orbit, 
  

   where 
  it 
  curves 
  inwards 
  to 
  make 
  up 
  for 
  the 
  missing 
  

   palatine, 
  the 
  inner 
  branch 
  short 
  and 
  widely 
  separated 
  

   from 
  the 
  parasphenoid 
  ; 
  latter 
  shaped 
  like 
  a 
  dagger 
  

   with 
  very 
  short 
  handle, 
  obtuse 
  or 
  truncated 
  anteriorly.
