Badajos, Spain: Bosca. Skeleton.—Apart from the stouter and shorter limb-bones, the skeleton of this species differs from that of the preceding in the larger nasals, which over- lap the ethmoid and the inner borders of which meet along their entire length, in the constricted fronto- parietals, and in the shape of the fronto-parietal fontanelle, which is divided into two portions between which the fronto-parietals form a bridge; the anterior fontanelle is large and kite-shaped, the posterior very small, a mere foramen between the fronto-parietals. Fig. Upper view of skull and lower view of left foreai'm and hand. The coracoids and prsecoracoids are more flattened and more robust, and the metacarpal and phalanges of the outer finger are shorter and more massive ; the terminal one in particular being extremely short, nearly hemispherical. The femur is slightly longer than the tibia. The more strongly ossified cranium is correlated' M.
