 three true molars are in a well-worn condition. The an- 

 terior border of the posterior nares is situated a considerable 

 distance behind the last molar. The height from the lower 

 border of the foramen magnum to the summit of the 

 occiput is 0,034. The length from the lower border of the 

 foramen magnum to pm. 1 is 0,117 ; the length of the space 

 occupied by the last six cheek-teeth 0,047 ; that by the 

 three true molars 0,0265 ; the length of the diastema 

 between pm. 1 and pm. 2 0,0205 ; the length of m. 3 

 0,0095, andlts width 0,012.
