The first three of the columns in the Table in the preceding 
page give the dimensions of skulls of M. giganteus , hilt unfor¬ 
tunately the sexes of the specimens to which they belonged are 
not known ; the remaining three columns of dimensions are 
from specimens of M. ocydromm in Mr. Goulds collection; 
the first (col. No. 4) gives the admeasurements of the skull of 
an adult male of very large size ; it had the imperforate palate, 
and the general proportions, of M. giganteus , and it will be 
seen that, notwithstanding its greater size, as compared with the 
skull, the dimensions of which are given in column No. 1, 
die size of the molar teeth is the same. The dimensions 
given in column 6 are from an adult female, weighing 50 lbs.: 
it had the three posterior molar teeth only remaining. The 
last column contains the admeasurements of an immature, 
though nearly adult male ; it had four molar teeth on each 
side of each jaw, of which the foremost was a premolar; the 
last true molar was not, developed. 
I here subjoin descriptions of the M. ocydromm , and M. 
melanops, both of which appear to me specifically identical 
with the M. giganteus.
