Another point is the pecuUar manner in which the descending part of the lacry- mal stands out at right angles to the rest of that bone, not ap- proaching the zygoma as it does in so many other birds where it is found, and as it does to a great degree in Aramus. This is likewise the case in Grus mexicana (fig. 1). In the mandihle of this crane I find the ramal vacuities nearly filled in by the splenial elements, and its symphysis is wider than it is in the Imipkin, which gives rise to a wider longitudinal groove upon its upper side. Hardly any evidence of a coracoid process exists in the lower jaw of either of these birds, the merest tubercle being present at the site where it is coixunonly found on the superior ramal border. In both Aramus and Grus, this part of the skull is only partially pneumatic, and the pneumatic fora- mina at the supero-mesial aspects of the inturned processes of the articular ends are always single and small.
