Lutra lutra. Nat. size. angular projection marking posterior border of orbit. Palate rather narrow, the distance between molars contained about three times in that from gnathion to level of posterior border of molar : incisive foramina moderate, about half as wide as long, lying entirely between canines ; posterior extension of palate about equal to distance between molars and about one-third that from molar to hamular ; mesopterygoid space narrow anteriorly, wider posteriorly, its length about double the width between hamulars. Auditory bulla small, flattened, though a little.
