The extreme tip of the left nasal is missing, but the bones were obviously pointed in front. The whole of the posterior and lower borders of the nostril are formed by the pre- maxilla, which sends back a process separating the forward portion of the maxilla from the nasal. The nostril seems to have had an upper prolongation between the nasal and premaxilla. The pre- maxilla carries apparently three or four simple pointed teeth. In.
