The incisor eminence is small, but the ridge to thenasal spine is marked, as is also the alveolar line. The hard palate is parabolicand shallow. The foramen lacerum medium is almost closed, and the sphenoido-tymppaiic fissure is not overlapped by the spinous process. In No. 1,815, Santa Barbara (fig. 5), a striking example is seen of a cymbe-cephalic skull with convex forehead without prominent ridges, small narrow malarbone and rudimental lachrymal bones. The nasals are sharply arched, the marginsof the anterior nasal aperture not expanded and the alveolus
