The skull in the type specimen of this species (number 1567) is narrow, and elongated. The nasal protuberances are flat below, and above. They appear to have been divergent, but of moderate size, though situated well forward. The maxillary protuberances were prominent, directed well forward, and connected by a transverse ridge. Behind them, on each side, stands a prominent protuberance over the orbit. Back of this, the superior and lateral surfaces of the skull pass into each other by regular curvature in front of the origin of the latei'al ridges, which rise abruptly upon the parietal protuberances. These elevations are imperfectly preserved, but are flattened in front, and situated behind the post-glenoid processes. 28.
