Apparently allied in external characters, as well as in 

 the development of the .facial tuberosities, to P. chceropotamus, 

 but the parietal region — of which the flat portion is com- 

 paratively narrow, although rather less so than in P. r. 

 nyasce — much longer, both actually, and relatively to tlie 

 rest of the skull. 



No specimen in collection.
