there may be foraething in what Pifo (1) faieh of 
him, which is one of them. But I think it does deferve 
a farther Enquiry. 
I flialJ proceed now to give a Defcription of the See- 
ktottf and fo lhall conclude. 
We will begin therefore with the Head, which, from 
the End of the Occiput, to the Exftream of the iSf^- 
res, was Four Inches and Three Quarters long ; of which 
t tab. I. the Roflrum f meafured «Three Inches ; and juft where 
Fig,^.AA.th& Rqftrum and the Cranium \\ met, the Bones were fo 
" ^ ^ pinched in, at the Sides, that here, 'twas very narrow 1 
and I may fay, in Proportion to the Bulk of the Ani- 
mal, this was the leaft Cranium that ever I met with in 
a Quadrupede. On the Forehead^ the Roflrum was an 
* I. Inch broad, having on each fide, ?l Protuier^nce^ jutting 
f K, out. There was a large Sature f juft in the Middle, 
which divided the upper Bones of the Nares length- 
ways, and though they ran flender towards the Extream 
of the Nares ; yet thefe Bones towards the Forehead^ 
fpread into a Triangular Figure , and as they are joined 
together, they form a Rhomloide^ or a Lozinge. But I will 
not be particular in defcribing each Bone^ that compofe 
the Head; for fear of being tedious : But I cannot but 
j ^ take notice of that remarkable rifing Ridge\\ like a Crefl, 
that runs the length of the Cranium, from the Forehead 
to the Occiput, juft in the Middle 3 where the Sutura Sa* 
git talis is in other Skuls. This Ridge^ for Diftindion 
fake, I ftiallcallj ProtulerantiaOffea longitudinalis ; and 
I obferved, it jutted out from the Cranium^ above a 
Quarter of an Inch : Juft at its upper Edge, I could per- 
ceive a Seam like a Suture ; fo that though now, theft
