Fin. —Sku. rounded shape of tlic bulla ossea, and the grooved form of the articular surfaces for the mandible, 'ilie pt)sterior nares are long and narrow and are not divided l\v the vomer. The hard palate is usually about half the length of the skull. It is connnonly marked by a median crest or rough line, and on each side are the anterior and accessory palatine foramina and the palatine grooves. The width is greatest between the fourth pair of cheek teeth, and here there is in most skulls a pronounced depression on either side. The length, wiclth, and contour vary greatly in different breeds. The angle of divergence of the rami of the mandible varies from 25 to 30 de- gree's; it is smallest in tlie greyhound, largest in extreme brachycephalic tj'pes, <:'. liulldog, pug. The nuchal surface is somewhat triangular, with the base ventral. The sum- mit is formed by tlie nuchal crest, which projects very strongly backward in the large breeds. Below it there are two very tlistinct rough imprints for muscular attachment. In some skulls there is a thin median occipital crest, in others a roundeil elevation. Laterally are the temporal crests antl the mastoid Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Sisson, Septimus, 1865-1924.
