Abstract
IN a paper on Dicynodon now being printed by the Royal Society we have already described the bone which Dr. Broom now regards as the “typically mammalian median vomer”. It is the bone which he has described previously as the anterior continuation of the basisphenoid, but without recognising the groove on the dorsal surface. No trace of a suture exists between it and the basisphenoid. To us it seemed, as stated in our paper, that the form of this bone, so far from confirming Dr. Broom's views, rendered his interpretation of the grooved bone in Diademodon even more doubtful than before.
