SIMIID^. 



Its fronto-nasal depth also is less than in S. entellus, the nasals being short and 

 broad, and the nasal opening considerably shorter than in that species. A line 

 drawn through the centre of the face, from the alveolar border of the premaxillaries 

 to the supraorbital ridge, does not touch the distal ends of the nasals, these bones 

 being rather flattened and broad and slightly concave. These differences in the 

 details of the configuration mast confer on S. priamus a very different visage 

 from that of S. entellus. There is not much difi'erence in the teeth of the two 

 forms, but in S. priamus they are relatively larger than in S. entellus, except the 

 canines, which are smaller. The palate has the general characters of that of 

 JS. entellus, and, like it, is of variable depth. The differences in the relative sizes of 

 these two skulls are indicated in the following measurements : — 



Tip of premaxillaries to centre of lambdoidal ridge 



Ditto to anterior margin of foramen magnum . 



Ditto to end of palate ...... 



Breadth across fronto-malar suture ...... 



(jreatest breadth across zygomatic arch ...... 



Depth through coronoid process of mandible ..... 



Transverse breadth of ascending ramus in a line with alveolar border 



Length of symphysis ......... 



Transverse breadth of symphysis .......

From the foregoing measurements it will be observed that the lower jaw of 

 S. schistaceus is characterised by great depth and breadth of symphysis, and that 

 S. priamus resembles it in having a symphysis relatively broader than S. entellus. 



This species inhabits the Eastern Ghats of India, and Northern Ceylon.
