Moreover, skull 2364 agrees fairly closely in shape with that under discussion (3334) ; the palate is rather longer and narrower, and the occipital condyle shows somewhat, but very little, more of the tripartite division. But, on the other hand, it has a preparietal closely comparable with that of the type of D. planus and the whole features of the top of the skull.
