There is a gradual but rather prominent
side of bridge in head outlining just in front of
and above eye. The eye itself is very
the eyelids small + deeply situated - does not
budge outward as in the mystacoceti. The
of opening is 3 inches lids are thick and heavy, there are
two short semicircular creases, one
one above + one below the eye. The general
effect reminds me of an elephants'
eye. Iris hazel brown.
The ear is an elliptical opening,
me circle 5in diameter (horizontal) sit-
uated eleven inches behind and
four inches below the eye. A good sized
pencil could easily be inserted for its
Entire length. (the E-- auditory
ventricle as thus much larger than
in the mystacoceti)
