Fig. 182. Spalax dolbrogese. Nat. size. polished. Interorbital region deeply constricted, its upper surface marked by a narrow median groove extending forward from sagittal crest. Zygoma slender and weak, not expanded at middle, nearly horizontal throughout, bowed gradually outward, so that the greatest zj^gomatic breadth is at level of anterior extremity of glenoid surface; infraorbital foramen large, broadly crescentic in outline, its greatest width scarcely or not more.
