 general shape to that of the other species. Facial portion propor- 

 tionally large, index 205-215. Muzzle broad and strong, evenly 

 but slightly tapering fbrwards. Nasals expanded behind, very short 

 and broad, but with the part in front of their junction with the

 half their length. Interorbital space flat or concave, its edges 

 sharp and strongly developed, overhanging, often markedly con- 

 verging backwards. Palatal foramina rather shorter than m.^

 small vacuities only present. Bullae large, swoUen, flatter and 

 rougher than in L. hporoides and L. hirsutus, and their substance 

 less transparent. 



Teeth proportionally very thick and powerful. Posterior edge of
