Strong basipterygoid processes, arising from thebody of the basisphenoid, and not from the rostrum, articulate withfacets which are situated nearer the posterior than the anterior endsof the inner edges of the pterygoid bones. This is the gist ofdromceognatlmm; it is exhibited in several ways, (a) In Siruthioalone. Fig, 75, the very short vomer, borne upon the rostrum, articu-lates neither with palatines nor with pterygoids, but with the maxillo-palatines; and the palatines, which are remote from the
