PITYMYS 771 



Shull. — The skull has much the same general outline as in 

 P. nebrodensis, that is, the brain-case is slightly longer than 

 broad and the dorsal profile is slightly convex, but the depth is 

 about as in P. savii and P. multiplex. It is readily distinguished 

 from that of P. subterraneus by its much less flattened brain-case 

 and by the evidently convex dorsal profile. Palate with lateral 

 pits unusually shallow and ill-defined. 



Teeth.- — As in Pitymys savii. In one otherwise normal 

 specimen* the terminal loop of the last upper molar is cut by a 

 deep inner re-entrant angle.
