Occipital and hinder parietal region considerably more flattened than in any other species of the genus, supraoccipital much lower, outline of lambdoid crest, in back view, therefore more flatly convex. Owing to the combined eff"ect of the slight deflection of the basicranial .axis and the flattening of the. Fig. 4.—Bo-iiKetfiis (Lisscnyctcris) angolends, J. Riiwenzori Eas-t. No. ; |.

Premaxillaries firmly co-ossified in front, forming an unbroken bar without any trace of a median suture, even in slightly immature individuals ; ascending rami of premaxillaries slenderer than in other species, particularly in their up])er half. .Supraorbital margin and bases of postorbital processes more raised above the le\cl of the upper surface of the skull, making the frontal plateau between the processes very distinctly concave from side to side.
