 vertical, from the front to the occiput very short, face transverse, 

 fully twice as broad as long, the front raised in the middle, grooved 

 each side adjoining the eyes; eyes subhemispherical, large, very 

 prominent, occiput transversely impressed, the carina higher in the 

 middle ; surface of the face not elevated beyond the line of the eyes ;
