5 inches 4 lines, width 2 inches 2 lines, internal nostril 5 lines. The 

 skull like that of Lupus aureus; but the coronal ridge is rather 

 dilated or vase-shaped in the middle of the length, and the upper 

 hinder tubercular grinders rather larger in comparison with the 

 other grinders. They are perhaps different species.
