The lower and posterior borders are free and at their angle of junction there is a variable hamulus. The nasal bones are (in most breeds) long and wider in front than behind. The facial surface is variably concave in its length and is inclined toward the median suture so as to form a central groove. The medial borders turn tlownward and form an internal nasal crest which becomes very prominent behind. The pos- terior parts fit into a notch formed by the frontal bones. The anterior ends form an almost semicircular nasal notch. The lacrimal bone is very small. The facial part extends very little or not at all beyond the orbital margin. The orbital surface is small an<l triangular, and presents the entrance to the lacrimal canal. The large zygomatic process constitutes the bulk of the malar bone. It is very long and is strongly curvetl. The dorsal border is convex, free in front, ^^?here it forms part of the orbital margin, beveled behind for articulation with the similar process of the temporal bone. Between these it bears an eminence, the processus frontalis, to which the orbital ligament is attached. The body of the bone may be considered to consist of a lacrimal process directed dorsally and fitting in between Incisor Cinnne PniiioUi tci'th Umlh teeth.

The dorsal turbinate bone is in its anterior part a simple plate, attached by one edge to the nasal bone: it cvu-ves ventro-niedially, and its free border is thick- ened and evertetl. The posterior jiart is wider antl resemliles the ethmoturbinates, with which it is connected. The ventral turbinate bone is short antl very complex. It is attached to the nasal surface of the maxilla by a basal lamina, which divides i
